I noticed today that I couldn't play supertux. Everytime I tried to start it I got
nick@nick10:~$ supertux
Datadir: /usr/share/games/supertux
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: I could not set up video for 640x480 mode.
The Simple DirectMedia error that occured was:
Couldn't find matching GLX visualAfter reading about the problem, I found that most often the cause of this is when someone doesn't have the nvidia drivers installed or forgot to comment out dri and glcore in the xorg.conf. I do have the nvidia drivers installed and can play WoW in cedega. I double checked and I also commented our dri and glcore. Anybody know what I am missing?
My kernel is 2.6.12-10-amd64-k8, I have a nvidia GeForce 440 Go 64M in my laptop. I used the nvidia installer to get the v.7667 version of the driver. My xorg.conf is:
