I have in my pc a NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 4000 128Megabytes video device AGP that was correctly configured, Is it a hardware acelerator?? Is there a driver for this device that I can use to fix these prolems?? Have i choose the software rendering option?? how could i choose this option? please someone help me
thanks

i changed in Config.prc the system redering for software rendering but the software rendering is a bad performance.
what can i do

Your card may be “correctly configured” for standard 2-d acceleration, but it doesn’t appear to be configured for 3-d acceleration. You will need to install a driver from nvidia that enables your graphics card for 3-d mode. Try going to nvidia.com and following the instructions there.

I believe with Ubuntu 6.06 you can actually install the nvidia drivers through a built in package (probably in the universe repository). Search for “nvidia-glx” using Synaptic or whatever software installer you use.

i’m running Ubuntu too.
I had that problem first, too (i use nVidia card too.). I installed in synaptic a few opengl and nvidia packages and it was solved.
Note: panda3d doesn’t work too in Ubuntu if you have Beryl and have the Blur filter enabled.
