Nvidia 9629 And Opengl Programs
 

I'm pretty sure I'm posting in the correct section.

I use Ubuntu Edgy and I recently updated my nVidia GeForce 2 card to "9629." I notice that when I attempt to run openGL games it would kill X and return me to the GDM login screen.

IF one of these programs start off in "window" mode, everything's fine! This problem only happens to a program starting in FULLSCREEN.

Anybody have this problem? Anybody know what to do about it?

Thanks!

Are you running any compositing manager such as compiz or beryl? Which version of Xorg are you using? What messages appear in /var/log/messages or /var/log/Xorg.0.log when this happens?

I have beryl installed but never activate it due to the nVidia "black windows" problem. So yes, I have it installed but it is never used. I'm not sure how to attach files so, here is a copy of my xorg...

Once I figure out how to attach files I'll upload my var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Not sure what is the problem but try to disable "AllowGLXWithComposite", "RenderAccel", "TripleBuffer" and "Composite" one at each time and try to see which fixes the problem.

You may also disable them all at first to see if it is any of these that causes the problem.

P.S.: I don't think it is possible to attach files in this forum. All users post config and log files enclosed in quote brackets

Nope, I tried commenting out those lines and it didn't work. Hmm... :scratch:

I have the same problem and some user users maybe too :(

found this :(
