Ok..

Do you have the full driver from Nvidia installed? 
This is part of the NVidia driver package.. or at least has been...

FWIW Googling shows this had been problem in past with not getting driver 
from Nvidia....
"
After trying every combination of nvidia packages around, I gave up and 
downloaded the driver from NVidia directly.

One command, "./NVIDIA-Linux....run", and I was all set. 
"

Cheers,
Frank

Frank,

MapD uses an Xorg based rendering engine to display data in a Web browser. 
Without this functionality MapD is missing two important features (Scatter 
and PointMap display)

color me confused, but what does x11 and xconfig have to do w/ using GPUs 
for things like MapD?
