New install and no OpenGL working

[xsist]

Hello,

I just upgraded from the Feisty Fawn herd 5 release to Feisty's final release. I did a clean install and for some reason OpenGL no longer works!

if I issue glxinfo, I get this:

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

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

Re: New install and no OpenGL working

You're using the "nv" driver (open-source, no 3D acceleration), and not the "nvidia" one (from nVidia, 3D acceleration, technically illegal). You should (re)install the nVidia drivers - search the forums for how to do that, there are about four different ways.
