If you set Visual Effect to "None", then it should run metacity and not compiz. If you are not using compiz, then the fact that GLX and OpenGL is not working shouldn't break GNOME. So, GLX is probably a red herring in your situation. I notice the following in your Xorg log: > (EE) Dynamic loader error: ld.so.1: Xorg: fatal: invalid handle: 0x0 > > Backtrace: > 0: /usr/bin/amd64/Xorg (xorg_backtrace+0x2a) [4b6f2a] > 1: /usr/bin/amd64/Xorg (OsSigHandler+0x52) [4bc772] > 2: /lib/amd64/libc.so.1 (__sighndlr+0x6) [fffffd7fff2e4db6] > 3: /lib/amd64/libc.so.1 (call_user_handler+0x2a7) [fffffd7fff2d7b3f] > 4: /usr/lib/amd64/libpixman-1.so.0 > (sse2_composite_over_8888_8888+0x330) [fffffd7ffe213c00] This looks a lot like http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13540 http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/detail.jsf?cr=6913157 Brian
