 |
|
I was getting an error when trying to start freedroidRPG and gltron, I can't remember the entire error message but the most relevant part goes like this: | Quote: | | X11 driver not configured with OpenGL |
I checked that I had emerged libsdl with opengl support (USE flag opengl) and I had. Then I found this on the libsdl site:
| Quote: | What platforms does it run on?
Linux
Uses X11 for video display, taking advantage of XFree86 DGA extensions and new MTRR acceleration for fullscreen display.
Uses the OSS API for sound.
Threads are implemented using either the clone() system call and SysV IPC, or glibc-2.1 pthreads. |
The relevant bit was that it uses "DGA extensions" because I hadn't provided that USE flag (dga) when I emerged libsdl. So I re-emerged libsdl with +dga USE flag and now everything is working great.
It's not much, but I hope it helps somebody. |

You have my thanks... I have killed 2 days now trying to figure this one out.
There needs to be a way to rank forum postings, so answers like your can be the first ones that show up during a search.
Cheers |
