Are you able to run glxgears with the nv (open-source) driver? It does not work for me (x86_64 PCI-e 6600 GT): $ glxgears X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 22 Current serial number in output stream: 22 Same as Partha noted with an ATi card. Interesting that both of our systems are 64-bit. I also cannot get my GLUT programs to work. They give the same error, with the minor difference that the above 22s are both 29 with the GLUT programs.
