11may24 update - gnome dependency missing i think

[jessejazza]

It was a while ago i posted this but i think i have got closer to the problem but on the technical side i am struggling. It is not an Evolution problem but a graphics issue.

It shouldn't be difficult to find out which packages were updated back in March and the graphics package that is missing or broken. My guess is that aptitude has removed one of them and i should have used the MX installer perhaps.

I do not know how MX Linux manages the packages. My QSI is in an earlier post.

A google was helpful but technically i haven't a clue.

https://www.google.com/search?q=GLXBadFBConfig

where the later provides this stackoverflow page as the first hit:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/655 ... adfbconfig
which explains what the error means. But i don't understand it.

We are not going to search for it. You need to post it again.

It would seem that there is a problem with the graphics card and i would be grateful for advice. I do have a Nvidia card which i could put in but not sure how one shuts of the built in Intel one. Presumably it is in the BIOS.

Please start a new topic on a different problem, thanks.

In MX-Tweak -> Other (tab) look for the box about using the Intel driver instead of the default.
Whichever way it is set, try it the other way.
