Topic: "Unable to create SDL screen: Couldn't find matching GLX visual"

i think i found the problem related with Blender not running - it seems associated with glx-driver or whatever - found this after installing games like torus-trooper or armagetronad

guest@crunchbang:~$ blender
Info: Config directory with "startup.blend" file not found.
AL lib: pulseaudio.c:331: PulseAudio returned minreq > tlength/2; expect break up

initial window could not find the GLX extension, exit!
guest@crunchbang:~$ torus-trooper

Sorry, played all my cards trying to initialize your video system.
Armagetron Advanced won't run on your computer. Reason:

Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

I'll try again from the beginning, but the chances of success are minimal.


guest@crunchbang:~$ lspci | grep VGA

i also tried to fix this with: (from http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p … mp;t=58507 )

sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-video-nv
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

but i got no success with...

i never had this problem on Ubuntu, and i'm having it with Crunchbang-"testing" - with which installed packages can i solve this?

thanks in advance
