Forgot to add this if this means anything: When I type: glxinfo | egrep '(direct|OpenGL version)' I get this Code: direct rendering: Yes OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 180.22 GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access Also glxgears works. This is the output on the Terminal when running it Code: 59226 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11845.096 FPS 59461 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11892.102 FPS 59250 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11843.214 FPS 58695 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11735.751 FPS 60527 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12105.332 FPS 58921 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11784.184 FPS
