GLXGEARS problem on Ubuntu, with NVidia GLX-Legacy drivers installed
 
If I run "glxgears", I get this error message:-

Code:

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

Can anybody suggest what I need to do to solve this.

I'm running Ubuntu Edgy, with what Ubuntu picks up as NV15BR [GeForce2 Ultra, Bladerunner] graphics. Its a clean Ubuntu install, with the NVidia GLX-Legacy driver installed through synaptic.


If I run glxinfo and a couple other commands from suggestion in other threads, this is the responses I get:-

Code:

:~/Desktop$ glxinfo

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

Is my problem anything to do with th Non-VGA unclassified device: VIA Technologies? I don't get anything similar on any of my other Linux machines.


Code:

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf|grep Driver

    Driver        "mouse"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Driver        "nvidia"

And my xorg.conf is this:-
Code:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

Thanks streeturchine, that solved the problem.

Glxgears works fine now, as do all of the OpenGL screensavers

Hi, I'm very late, as always, just to add a different perspective to solve the problem, now that is useless isn't?
Adding a section in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file will make the legacy nvidia drivers work, the next one:
Code:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
