Title: OpenGL (?) Issue (3D Rendering?)
Post by: SNiFFeR on October 25, 2006, 11:15:02 pm
I'm not exactly sure what my problem is but I get a errors when I try to run anything that has 3D rendering (specifically WoW). I have the correct version of the nvidia drivers and my system specs are located below. I was going to get some logs and stuff but just let me know exactly what you need to help me out.

glxgears and glxinfo I get errors that are also included below. Appreciate it.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf would be nice.
I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say you need to load the glx module. There seems to be a couple of similar problems when I googled the problem. Check those out as well.

Here is the xorg.conf (http://fictionwelive.com/xconf.txt). I believe I loaded the glx module, I have a hunch that there is something corrupt with the library linkage but then again I'm usually wrong and fairly new to this distro.

Thanks for the quick response Ergot.

I've already looked over that xorg.conf previous to this post and tried to add the last part of it
Quote
Section "Extensions"
   Option   "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

Which I believe is the main difference (well that and the gfx driver name).

Oh and also, I got my Nvidia-Bug-Report here (http://fictionwelive.com/nvidia-bug.txt).

He commented out Load "dri"
If that doesn't fix it I'm stumped and I'll let other people suggest things :P.

Yeah, I had that commented out, so I uncommented just to see what it would do and it's still exactly the same  :P

I think I'm just going to install a normal version of Ubuntu (Dapper Drake Desktop) instead of the server because I think that has a lot to do with the issues (2 hours remaining). I'll let you know if I happen to fix the problem in the newest install.

Again, thanks for your help Ergot.

Does Ubuntu have some sort of special nvidia package? You might want to try the official.

Well, I fixed most of the problems with a nice fresh reinstall and well now I've got the game running. But yet, there is still another problem...the screen flickers (or refreshes) too quickly so you can't really make out what is going on. Still trying to figure out why it is doing this but, I'll definitely get back to everyone with an update ASAP.
