I'm having trouble opening system settings??? iSystem Settings. I get this error code when iI try and run itswitchboard in the terminal, as it wont open on clicking either.

(switchboard:16560): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'switchboard' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 159 error_code 2 request_code 154 (GLX) minor_code 24) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, runas it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.won't open by clicking) /usr/bin/gnome-control-center: line 20: 16560 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) switchboard $switchboard_options $requested_plug
