GLXGEARS crahes system?? Leaving MINT :(

Post by kingtux »

Hello All,

I'm running "Daryna" on a brandnew Dell Latitiude D630 which is has...
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

And is running the "intel" driver....I am running compiz fine and everything is working fine but when I try to run glxgears to get some stats it crashes my machine??

If I do an glxinfo I noticed that "DRI" is not enabled? Is that the problem?

I've tried adding the modules load section and DRI sections in my xorg.conf....
when I restart X gdm doesn't come on?

I'm not sure what I need to do get DRI AND GLX working???
