Linux Mint Debian & 3D

Post by loukingjr »

I don't know if LMDE is one of the "problem" distros or not but, if I try and enable Compiz, it not only locks up the guest, but VB and my Mac as well. If I run "glxinfo" I get this...

name of display: :0.0
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

is this fixable or one of the things being worked on?

yes, I have Fedora 14 as well. They don't work for me either. I hear they are working on a few distros.
