Thanks for the bug report. Can you please attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

Now with Tribe-5, it runs but after a while it seg fault.

Broken GL when using composite with nvidia-glx-legacy is a known bug (see Bug #124913 and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ).

Marco:
How did you enable the legacy drivers - did you use restricted-manager?

[Sitsofe Wheeler (sitsofe)]

Setting back to New and punting from mesa -> linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 .

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

Yes, I use restriced-manager =)

[Sitsofe Wheeler (sitsofe)]

Punting from linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 -> restricted-manager .

We are wondering if this is still an issue. Can you try it with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Martin Mai (mrkanister-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

Hi,

it is still an issue, at least on my computer (ubuntu jaunty, AMD64). I have a

00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150] (rev a2)

graphics card, and although I have loaded nvidia-glx-180 (which loads the glx extension), glx still does not work:

% glxinfo

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

Segmentation fault

Other applications like compiz or googleearth complain about missing glx extensions as well (googleearth crashes with segmentation fault too).

I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

Get nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 - 185.18.14 here:

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

For me it works fine again with jaunty, but I didn't install the version from PPA.

Thanks for letting us know the issue is resolved.
