Hello:
I recently bought a System 76 laptop with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 15.4” Widescreen WXGA (1280X800) display and an nVidia GeForce GO 7600 with 256MB VRAM graphics card as well as other features.
The system comes with Ubuntu installed.
I reinstalled the laptop with KANOTIX-2006-01-RC4. It works really well. It detected all the devices. I am very happy.
There is one problem. The laptop has a wide screen (see above), and everything is distorted. For example, the globe for FireFox is elliptical instead of circular, etc., ...
I have run the install-nvidia-debian.sh script to get the correct drivers.
I know this is an X-server problem so I ran
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and that fixed things. The distorted applications went away.
But then I got the error
"the x-server doesn't support the OpenGLX Extension ....
My applications that used OpenGL 3D failed.
Someone suggested I run
apt-get install nvidia-glx
and then
nvidia-glx-config enable
but that doesn't work. nvidia-glx was installed originally, but the command nvidia-glx-config wasn't there.
Can someone help me with this?
Thank you.
Regards,
Angelo |

Hello:
Thank you for the quick reply. I tried the suggestions posted above, but the screen still has the elongated distortion. I think it has something to do with having a 3-D GLX server.
Is there something else I could try.
Kind regards,
Angelo |
