I just setup ubuntu 11.10 on Dell XPS 15z by following the instruction from here:

Everything seems ok until the point I failed to run openGL on chrome: http://get.webgl.org

This is the step I follow to setup the machine:

1) Add bumblebee ppa

2) install nvida-current from restricted drivers

3) install bumblebee (remember to "sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee YOURUSERNAME" as said by the bumblebee readme)

4) install mesa-utils

5) reboot

6) try intel card with terminal command "glxspheres"

7) try nvidia card with terminal command "optirun glxspheres"

While the step 7 is success, but step 6 was failed with following error message:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

When I run "glxinfo|grep OpenGL", it prompts

"Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"."

This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"



    Identifier      "Default Device"



    Option  "NoLogo"        "True"



EndSection

I have turned on webgl support for chrome as well.

Fairly new to this, how could I fixed this?

Successfully have it running with both intel and nvidia graphics running by following instruction from here:

Did a test on glxinfo | grep OpenGL and optirun | grep OpenGL, both working.

Eventually the webgl issue for chrome is by misconfiguring the chrome://flags, reset it and everything is fine.
