          Hello:
 
 
I recently bought a System 76 laptop with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor,  a 15.4” Widescreen WXGA (1280X800) display and an nVidia GeForce GO 7600 with 256MB VRAM graphics card as well as other features.
 
 
The system comes with Ubuntu installed.
 
 
I reinstalled the laptop with KANOTIX-2006-01-RC4.  It works really well.  It detected all the devices.  I am very happy.
 
 
There is one problem.  The laptop has a wide screen (see above), and everything is distorted.  For example, the globe for FireFox is elliptical instead of circular, etc., ...
 
 
I have run the install-nvidia-debian.sh script to get the correct drivers.
 
 
I know this is an X-server problem so I ran 
 
                      
 
                     dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
 
 
and that fixed things.  The distorted applications went away.
 
 
But then I got the error
 
 
                     "the x-server doesn't support the OpenGLX Extension ....
 
 
My applications that used OpenGL 3D failed.
 
 
Someone suggested I run 
 
 
                   apt-get install nvidia-glx
 
 
and then 
 
 
                   nvidia-glx-config enable
 
 
but that doesn't work.  nvidia-glx was installed originally, but the command nvidia-glx-config wasn't there.
 
 
Can someone help me with this?
 
 
Thank you.
 
 
Regards,

          Hello:
 
 
Thank you for the quick reply.  I tried the suggestions posted above, but the screen still has the elongated distortion.  I think it has something to do with having a 3-D GLX server.
 
 
Is there something else I could try.
 
 
Kind regards,
