rviz not working

I get the error (running Ubuntu 10.4, electric), but with the following when I try to run rviz after a fresh install of ROS:

The program 'rviz' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 22 error_code 9 request_code 136 minor_code 3) (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, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I am using i3 as the processor and no external graph card, so I guess it is "Inter HD Graphics"

I have that every once in a while. A restart of rviz usually remedies that though.

What graphics card does your computer have?
