Hello,

I can not start VMD in graphic mode. It gives a massage:

XRequest.143: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) 0x17
XRequest.143: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) 0x17

Info) VMD for LINUX, version 1.8.6 (April 6, 2007)
Info) Unable to create OpenGL window.

I have ubuntu 8.10 version.

Intel Video card:

lspci -nn | grep VGA

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:29b2] (rev 02)

glxinfo gives

name of display: :0.0
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
  Serial number of failed request: 10
  Current serial number in output stream: 10

Could you please help me with my problem. I am quite a new linux user and I can not understand what is the problem and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance,

Kate
