UT2004 BadColor Error

[thunderd]

I am running Ubuntu 7.04 on a P3 nVidia GeForce 2. When I first install the legacy driver for the video card, ut runs fine, but my max resolution is 800x600. When I run the following command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

and enable 1280x1024 resolution and reboot, I receive the following error upon startup of ut:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]
Aborting.


Crash information will be saved to your logfile.
X Error of failed request: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 79 (X_FreeColormap)
Resource id in failed request: 0x260000c
Serial number of failed request: 126

Any suggestions?

try running

sudo nvidia-settings

change to the "X Server Display Configuration" tab , setting up your resolution if it is not detected in there, and Clicking "Save to X Configuration File" and reboot.

Post your output from

glxinfo | grep render

if that doesn't work.

the command
sudo nvidia-settings
is not recognized. Here is the output from glxinfo:

Your nvidia drivers aren't working.

Try this:

sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx* nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-settings
sudo rm /etc/init.d/nvidia-*
sudo update-rc.d nvidia-kernel remove
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`

(reboot)

I would save that code to a file in your home directory as something like "nvidiainstall.sh" and then
chmod +x nvidiainstall.sh
(any time before you run it)
then you can run it easily with
sudo sh nvidiainstall.sh
