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.

Thanks.
I run compiz-check (the script to know if compiz is ok) and the answer is:

./compiz-check
No protocol specified
xdpyinfo: unable to open display ":0.0".

Help me.

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:

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and pasted there:

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
   Identifier   "Configured Video Device"
   Driver   "intel"
EndSection

Works for now.
