On startup, I have 2 options; Ubuntu and Unity 2d. I always Choose Ubuntu. I run the test co/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p and that's what I get:
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: unable to create the OpenGL context
My Graphics card is pretty new. I've been working on a much weaker older graphics card for almost 2 years now on my old laptop and I was using compiz to the max flawlessly. It's just frutrating to suddenly lack all effects. Is it possible that my card doesn't support compiz or am i missing some sort of library or package ?
