User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.71 Safari/537.36 Build Identifier: Hi. I have 2 graphic cards on my laptop: 1. Nvidia GeForce GT 740M. 2. Intel graphic card. The Intel's card is working well. For Nvidia's card, I added the official Nvidia repository from YaST2, and installed the "x11-video-nvidiaG03" package (beside other dependencies) from it, actually I am not the one who chose this package, it's the YaST2' "Install Recommended Packages" option which did. After installation and after reboot, When I try to run a game (like teeworlds), I got this: [15-11-12 10:13:13][gfx]: unable to set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual [15-11-12 10:13:13][gfx]: out of ideas. failed to init graphics [15-11-12 10:13:13][client]: couldn't init graphics And I can't run the game. When I try to run Steam, I got: "OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display". And Steam go closed. When I try to run the "glxgears" command, I got: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual Any fix? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the closed Nvidia driver from its official repository. 2. Reboot the computer. 3. Try to run "glxgears" command or steam or any game to see the problem. Actual Results: Games, Steam and glxgears command can not be run. Expected Results: The above software should have worked normally with the closed driver, or even better.
