problem with Xorg

[Jimmy Wu]

sktsee - I took your advice and set the driver back to nv, but before X
would work again, I also had to do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Right now, I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with glxinfo
Here is the output:

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".

There is definitely something wrong here, but I have no idea how to go about
fixing it

Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks,

Jimmy
