been wrestling with this for a bit and I do not understand something fundamental to the problem.

tdfsb reports

SDL ERROR Video mode set failed: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL


Code:

di79suehs libsdl # eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
  [1]   nvidia
  [2]   xorg-x11 *
di79suehs libsdl # eselect opengl set 1
Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... done


I even tried flipping it back to xorg-x11, rebuild libsdl, and flipping it back. Alas, no joy. Any clues?

other gl programs seem to run just fine.

I hate to dig up such an old thread, but I have the same exact problem 4 years later. I'm getting:

Code:
SDL ERROR Video mode set failed: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL


My opengl driver seems to be xorg-x11 which is weird because months ago it also had intel on the list, but I didn't think much of it because games like Enemey Territory still play the same as ever without any lag, so I'm assuming it still properly doing hardware acceleration?

Code:
eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
  [1]   xorg-x11 *


This whole thing isn't at the top of my priorities list, but I really wanted to try out the 3d file browser tdfsb. It seems pretty interesting.
