What happens when you select another GUI that does not use OpenGL, tkmini and the like and start EMC?

Do you get warnings or have any problems running glxgears from a terminal?

regards

glxgears works

i am not sure where your leading with this!?

I found the solution to this problem.

its a well documented case of X11 / X server in "auto" mode selecting to high of a refresh rate.

easily fixed in recovery mode "low graphics mode" from grub boot

TERMINAL>
sudo nautilus,
head off to X11 folder in ECT subdirectory in the window that pops up.
cut and past configuration files and backup configuration files into a new folder (just in case).
goto system>administration>hardware_drivers and select a different and hopefully working driver.
reset and repeat if DOES NOT WORK or
reset and tweak working driver to "preffered settings" BUT this time with lower refresh rate eg. 70hz

Hi

The shut down appears to have occurred only after axis was started and there is what appears to be an X server error related to GLX.

Axis is heavily dependent upon OpenGL (miniGL) for its display rendering,
I was suggesting trying to run a GUI that does not use that library and see if it works.

The problem is outlined here wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Tro...oftware_based_OpenGL


NOW SEE YOU HAVE FOUND ANOTHER X SERVER RELATED PROBLEM AND SOLVED IT

regards

ISOCPU?! im all eyes and ears

care to share a URL?

by the way found the solution hopefully it posted, your right it was a graphics driver issue
