Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.1

no luck. i get the same error as before

Code:

Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 01:00.0 0300: 10de:0101 (rev 10) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Trying again with indirect rendering:

smatt454@kubuntu-desktop:~$ glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

but you see now i think i see my previous error. you see before u had me install my driver with envy, glx worked just fine. (as i type this i get more and more optimistic) for some reason envy must have messed up. i'll download my dirver though kde (the way i always have) and set my xorg up the way it was before (when i got the glx error) this should fix this.

(i forgot to post this but i have an update)

this wont work either. its weird because glx used to load just fine, until i installed my driver with envy,
now if i try to reinstall with kde it wont work!

well i ended up getting nvidia-xconfig from adept
when i type in

Code:

sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite

i get

Code:

nvidia-xconfig: unrecognized option: "--add-argb-glx-visuals"

are you sure you typed down the code right?

we're so close i can almost smell it. if we can get glx to run like it used to. then i think we'll be fine

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.1

...are you sure you typed down the code right?

I'm pretty sure, here is an excerpt from its help file ( nvidia-xconfig -A ):

--add-argb-glx-visuals, --no-add-argb-glx-visuals
Enables or disables support for OpenGL rendering into 32-bit ARGB windows and pixmaps.

When you downloaded Envy, did you download the new version, or the legacy? Try reinstalling your Nvidia driver with the latest version of Envy; then, run this command again:

Code:

sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite

I've found that you will occasionally run across a fluke installation, that will be fixed when you reinstall whatever you're having issues with.

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.1

ok well i got glx working, but i still cant get compiz to work.

when i run compiz with SKIP_CHECK=yes my screen turns black and i can only see my cursor (ps -A in a separate terminal says that emerald, compiz, and compiz.real are running)

when i run it without SKIP_CHECK=yes i get

Code:

like before

this is my xorg.conf file

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.10)

What does this command give you:

Code:

glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"

**Smatt454** · Feb 08, 2008, 09:11 PM

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.1

direct rendering: Yes

**integr8e** · Feb 08, 2008, 09:40 PM

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.10)

It should be working; reboot your computer, and run

Code:

compiz

by itself (no other arguments). If you the error persists, try following the instructions here, just skip down to the "Modifying your xorg.conf file" section.

**Smatt454** · Feb 08, 2008, 09:57 PM

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.1

i get the same error...i'll have to check the site

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.10)

Why do you have "AIGLX" enabled?

**Smatt454** · Feb 08, 2008, 10:33 PM

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.1

idk, could that cause a problem?

**integr8e** · Feb 08, 2008, 10:55 PM

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.10)

I'm not sure; aiglx isn't needed for your Nvidia card, so removing it won't hurt anything.

**Smatt454** · Feb 08, 2008, 11:35 PM

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.1

didnt change anything

Code:

/usr/bin/compiz: 352: nvidia-settings: not found

could that be the problem?

**Smatt454** · Feb 08, 2008, 11:56 PM

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.1

do u think maybe my graphics card is to old (CRAP! i didnt put that in here did i?)

Code:

$ lspci | grep nVidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV10DDR [GeForce 256 DDR] (rev 10)

EDIT:
well i guess its in my xorg....but still just in care.

**integr8e** · Feb 09, 2008, 01:59 PM

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.10)

Envy should have installed nvidia-settings when it installed your Nvidia driver; try running this command, carefully watching apt doesn't try to uninstall anything:

Code:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

**Smatt454** · Feb 09, 2008, 02:28 PM

Re: X sever constantly restarts. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Xgl problem? (Kubuntu 7.1

doing this removes my nvida-glx-legacy driver
