glxinfo gives the output below. I don’t know if the problem lies with Ubuntu not being officially supported, it might as well be because I have a laptop G8 rather than a desktop one. I had the same problem with graphics interoperability not working in XP. Unfortunately, the fix for XP (basically just leaving out the “isGraphicsInteroperabilitySupported” function call) does not eliminate the problem in Ubuntu. It just gives me a black window.
Thanks for helping out.
