I haven't had any nvidia problems for a while, and I don't know how long it has been since I have not had GLX.
But...I recently performed an upgrade from Karmic to Lucid, and so far most everything has been working fine. The GLX is the only think broken that I have noticed.
Here is what is weird: I have a laptop at work, also nvidia, also did the upgrade, and its GLX has worked fine. I am not sure what the problem is. When I compare the nvidia packages that have been installed, they look comparable. So I don't understand why one works and the other doesn't.
When I check the hardware drivers menu, it says I am using the recommended and current nvidia driver. When I check it on nvidia-settings, it says I am using 195.36.15. Under OpenGL/GLX information, I get the following error: Fail to query the GLX server vendor.
When I try and run GLX gears, I get the following: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.
My xorg.conf appears to be set up correctly [and in a similar manner to my laptop], with a load "GLX" module and the right "nvidia" driver.
Can someone tell me what information I need to post to get this to work correctly? I would rather use the repository driver, and I would rather keep using the current driver [for some CUDA work]. I know it will work with the repository driver as it works on my laptop.
If it matters my desktop [not working GLX] card is a GeForce GTX 260; my laptop [the one that works] is a Quadro FX 770M. Thanks in advance.
