Crashes - Couldn't find matching GLX, Ubuntu 8.04 [SOLVED]

[srilyk]

Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and whatever version of nexuiz is installed with apt-get/synaptic.

When I try to start it, it crashes after the screen flickers a few time.

Here's my log:

As far as I can tell it has something to do with GLX, but other than that, I'm not sure at all.

Thanks for the help!

What graphics card and driver do you have installed? Could be a graphics driver problem.

Also, have you tried using the SDL version? Run the command 'nexuiz-sdl' and see what happens.

Ah... I found a fix for it. Apparently this error is fairly common with nvidia cards.

the trick, apparently, is to run nvidia-xconfig.

On my computer, I fixed it this way:

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo mv /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/xorg.conf

That would have worked as is, if I had a CRT monitor. Instead, I have an lcd monitor, so I had to change this line:

VertRefresh 50.0 - 150.0

to:

VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0

and this line:

Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

to this:

Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

now it seems to work perfectly.

Hope this helps anyone else!
