Intel graphics card and OpenGL GLX?

**rebeltaz** · October 26th, 2009

I am trying to run FlightGear which apparently requires OpenGL. Whenever I try to run it, I get this error message:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
freeglut (fgfs): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0'

I have run lshw and this is what it reports for the graphics card on my eMachines E520 laptop:

I have read a lot about installing OpenGL for NVidia cards, but I have also seen warnings not to install NVidia drivers if you have an Intel card. So can someone tell me how to install OpenGL? BTW- here is a copy of my xorg.conf file:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "intel"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

thanks....

Graphics drivers and OpenGL should work "out-of-the-box" for your GPU (Intel GMA 4500MHD). If they don't check:

Code:

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I have no idea what all of this means:

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

Code:

(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
	compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
	Module class: X.Org Server Extension

It means you tried to install the nvidia driver, and it overwrote the open-source version of libglx.so with the proprietary nvidia version, so you need to reinstall the open-source mesa stack.

Try this:

Code:

sudo nvidia-settings --uninstall
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Reboot.

yeah... I forgot about that, when Ubuntu first upgraded to 9.04, I was having video problems so I did try the Nvidia drivers. So, I did what you suggested, but on the first line, to uninstall nvidia, it reports command (nvidia-settings) not found. So I went ahead and did the other two commands. Rebooted and tried the FlightGear again with the same results. I looked at the Xorg.0.log again and found this:

(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)

These lines are still there:

Code:

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
	compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0

I need to add that I now have the same problems that I had back when I first tried to install the Nvidia drivers after the Ubuntu 9.04 upgrade. First I noticed it with Cheese Webcam. If I click any item on the menu bar, as soon as the menu drops down over the image, the image colors go solarized and the X-Server restarts. Same thing happened when I was watching videos. I paused it and then pulled up Nautilus on top of it. As soon as I did that, the video solarized and X-Server restarted.

I replaced the xorg.conf file with the original that I was using before running the reconfigure program, but I still have the same effect....

So now, I am back to square one... or maybe zero....

Thank you thank you. This got my compiz working after upgrading to 10.04

Always glad to be of service!

Thank you, friend!
Your solution helped me in such problem:

# glxinfo
# glxgears
# google-earth
-- all of them gave "Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0.0" error report...

# lspci
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

After, by yoyr advice,
# sudo nvidia-settings --uninstall
# sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and reboot
the problem has gone!
Thank you!
