This is just a sumptom. When I run glxgears all I get is a black window. No animation of three rotating gears. Other opengl-enabled programs and plug-ins I tried launch and run as usual. I'm able to shut them down without resorting to anything stronger than Ctrl-C. But all I see is an image of unrelenting nothing.

The P2 runs glxgears and other opengl apps fine. Does anybody have any idea what I may have done wrong (not done right)? All I want is the capability to play chromium and tuxracer on this machine.
