Hi Simon- > Institution: Monash University > Package Version: IDV2.2 (problem occurs on all other versions as well) > Operating System: Linux Ubuntu > Hardware Information: Intel core 2 duo. 4 gig of ram. > Inquiry: When loading up IDV, The following error occurs."glXMakeCurrent > fails" > The windows load, i.e. Main display and even tip tools, however they load > incompletely and no buttons work, I must use ctrl c or force quit to close. I'm not sure what's going on here, so I'll ask some questions: - what is the color depth of your display (16, 24 or 32 bit)? If 24 does setting to 32 allow you to run? - what type of graphics card does this system have? - in your xorg.conf file (or XFree86Config if using that) is there a line: load glx ? - is there a line load dri ? If so, comment that out and restart your X server.
