Nothing with OpenGL works

Asked by Eggbertx

This is the error that anything with OpenGL shows. I got it from glxgears.

X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 10
Current serial number in output stream: 10

If this helps, when running Hardware testing, for resolution, it says this:

The following resolution was detected for your display:

impossible with fglrx

Is this a good resolution for your display?

I don't know if that helps, but has anyone else had this problem and figured out how to fix it?

lspci

command lists your pci cards. Use:

lspci | grep vga

lists your graphics cards. Use:

lspci | grep audio

for your sound card.
We need to know you graphics card information. It seems that drivers are not correctly installed.

I tiped in those commands and it didn't say anything, so I just typed in lspci and picked out this info:

 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon X600 (PCIE)]

Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon X600]

01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon X600]

Opengl stuff did work at one time, but it flickered if any mouse or keyboard button was pressed, and several X screensavers had very low fps and showed above every other window.

Did you install ati drivers using hardware drivers? Try to install them with system-->administration-->hardware drivers.

Your card should work with fglrx ati driver. Use fglrxinfo to show info. I think glx commands does not work with fglrx driver.

Post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file content to http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste the address here.
