1. He couldn\'t use the script on window$
2. He said he uses it.
3. He couldn\'t use the same client
4. He probably couldn\'t get that error on win$

for OpenGL you have to fix your drivers, enable AGPGART, disable MESA(probably)... lot\'s of work.

Post by: Leander256 on December 06, 2003, 10:44:45 pm: On linux, openGL is not always available by default.

If you\'ve got some nvidia card (since TNT2 chipset), you\'ll have to download drivers from http://www.nvidia.com and follow the instructions in the README file.

For ATI cards there are drivers as well, but I have no clue where to find them nor how to install them.

You will find better help on dedicated sites/forums.

1.) check if you have agpgart enabled (either builtin or as module) if not, then enable it and recompile your kernel.
2.) get the fglrx 3.7.6 drivers from http://www.ati.com
3.) if you are running xfree then change back to runlevel 3 (change to another console, log in as root and run init 3
4.) install the .rpm package (if you use a system without rpm like debian or slackware, then get alien or use rpmunpack to extract the files to / to place them in the proper locations)
5.) go to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/ and run ./make.sh
6.) go to /lib/modules/fglrx/ and run ./make_install.sh
7.) run fglrxconfig to set xfree up (dont use XF86Config anymore!) and make sure if it asks you if it should enable the internal agp module that you answer with no (at least if you have a mainboard with nforce2 chipset)
8.) save the settings and run init 5
9.) run fglrxconfig in a shell and check if it says \"ATI Technologies Inc.\" as vendor string
10.) if it does you have opengl enabled. congratz ;) if not... well.. bad luck... post what went wrong

11.) if you want to enable the ati control applet go to /usr/X11R6/bin/ and extract the fireglcontrol.* archive matching your compiler (check with gcc -v) and rename the file to fireglcontrol

PS: if you dont have a radeon card... well.. just ignore this post ;)
Title: GL! GL!
Post by: ngefan on March 21, 2004, 01:01:15 am: Why can\'t I use it? Also, I got logged in the first time, but then it freezes eveytime after.

When I try to use the GL one it says like that I don\'t have the hardware or sumtin.
