glxinfo command returning "BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)" error

Graphics / Linux Linux
1

I have been doing a TON of installing/uninstalling/reinstalling so that may contribute to this issue, but all of a sudden, any call I make to GLX has been returning this error:

name of display: :0
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 150 (NV-GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 4 ()
Resource id in failed request: 0x3c00003
Serial number of failed request: 46
Current serial number in output stream: 46

I am getting this error from drivers I downloaded directly from nVidia as well as my package manager.

OS: Linux Mint 17.1
GPUS: 760 and 460SE (3 monitors, 2 on the 460 and 1 on the 760)

Please let me know if there is any other information you need.

Your xorg.conf is screwed

Section "Files"
EndSection

Try adding thew correct module paths for your distro (example shown for fedora).

Section "Files"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Thank you for the reply.
I have added “/usr/lib/xorg/modules” but “/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg” does not exist on my system.
I did a ‘locate /nvidia/xorg’ and it did not find anything.

With just “/usr/lib/xorg/modules” added to my xorg.conf, I am still having the same issue.
(my xorg log shows that the glx module was loaded and initialized)
((also, nvidia-detector returns ‘none’))

You could remove the empty files section

My files section was previously empty, I had entered in your suggestion into the files section and it is no longer empty.

I did a reinstall of the drivers and I am now getting a new error message when using glxinfo:

Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

Also, I am seeing these in my xorg log:
