Depending on the kind of graphics card or integrated graphics solution installed on your computer, there are different steps involved in preparing them for a 3D composited desktop. The guides below, organised by manufacturer, will discuss your options, inform you about potential problems, and show you sample configurations that have been known to work well for most people.

./compiz-check

I have exacly the same problem, need glx support for Google-Earth and Java rendering libraries.
I ran:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx
Then:
Code: Select all
bulva@Emperor ~ $ inxi -G
Graphics: Card Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller X.Org 1.7.7 Res: 1280x800@60.0hz, 848x480@30.0hz
GLX Renderer N/A GLX Version N/A
bulva@Emperor ~ $
So nothing, even after restarting X's. I noticed there is no xorg.conf under /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Ran:
and pasted there:
Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Works for now.
