OpenGL and Linux, compile is ok but executions failes
Author
I'm trying to setup OpenGL on linux ubuntu. I'm using freeGLUT and g++. The compilation works fine but when I run the program I get the following error: freeglut (./main): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0'
I have a nvidia card GF2MX (with the lates drivers - nvidia legacy)
What could be wrong?
That's a pretty old card. Are you sure that card supports whatever OpenGL extension function you are trying to use?

I'm trying to compile the typical "hello world" OpenGL program. I'm not using any special extensions.

Solved it. It was a driver problem, I uninstalled the drivers and managed to run in software rendering. It seems that the nvidia drivers conflict with the freeglut libraries, for more information and solutions here's a the link that helped http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&forumid=2&threadid=321212
