Accelerated Graphics functionality does not work on nvidia glx driver

[Alfred]

When I tried to install Ubuntu 8.04 as a fresh install, with my 5500 Nvidia AGP x8 Card installed in my computer, the refresh rate was too high for my LCD monitor. So I took out my AGP card, and did the install, and things were OK. Then I put in the AGP Card after the install, and loaded the New Nvidia GLX driver, and things worked OK. Then I loaded some of the games, that make use of the AGP Card. My LCD Monitor an Acer AL 1914 had a dialog box on the screen saying " Input not supported" needing Accelerated Graphics work in 8.04 32 bit. They worked fine in 7.10

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please attach your X server configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the "Attachment:" box below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let Xorg autodetect your display and video card? Please also attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt. Thanks in advance.

Could you also please provide the following information:

uname -a > uname-a.log
cat /proc/version_signature > proc_version_signature.log
sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log
dmesg > dmesg.log
sudo lshw -C video

Thanks

I have added all the data you requested, as one attachment file, with each file commented so you know what it is.

[Alfred (alfred-s-nexicom)]

The Package in question on playing games is Xorg.

[Alfred (alfred-s-nexicom)]

I collected the data from 7.10 when the error was in 8.04 So tomorrow
evening I'll do it all again, but in 8.04.

Alfred!

I don't know anything about PHP Keys don't thinkl I have one!

Below is the collected data from Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit with Nvidia FX 5500 AGP x* card 256 Megs of Video ram, and Acer AL 1914 LCD Monitor, on a Asrock Motherboard with 2 gigs of DDR Ram, and AMD ATHALON XP running at 166 Mhz X 11.5.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.
