Linux client "Fatal Error"
« on: February 20, 2005, 03:00:54 am »
crystalspace.graphics3d.opengl: Error opening Graphics2D context.

I keep getting that above message in \'Fatal error\' when attempting to run Psclient, any ideas?

Thanks,
Simon

This is where I think the topic should be. Please keep the single copy here. :)

Ah, thanks. The stickied thread above says \'ERRORS\' and links to the other thread, so I posted it there instead O_o. I was wondering where my threads kept going.

Anyway, if anybody can help, it\'d be greatly appreciated as the windows installer isn\'t exactly working properly under wine, or Cedega/Point2Play as well.

Cant you give some more information? Run the client with -verbose for example and post the output. One single line is not enough to help you ;)
And how did you install the client? From CVS, Kronon\'s installer or my installer?

I ran the SH installer on the site.

Theres a lot of complaining about missing GLX modules for your xserver. Can you run \'xdpyinfo\' and confirm that GLX is not present in the list of Extensions?

If not, adding this in will probably be a good thing, add

Load \"glx\"

to the Module section in your xserver config file ( called xorg.conf if you are using Xorg-X11 or XF86Config if you are using XFree86 ), and restart X.

That\'s odd. GLX isn\'t in the list of extensions in xdpyinfo, but is in the xorg.conf..

So GLX is specified but not loaded, sounds like an opengl issue with your video card. I\'m guessing glxinfo, glxgears, etc all fail to run as well?

What video card model/vendor are you using? You will need to get its opengl driver support working..

You have to make sure that \"load glx\" is not commented out in your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config if not then you have to update
your graphic card drivers. I don\'t think so if PS is going to run correctly on
standard DRI drivers, if you have Nvidia card then you are home, worse
is you have ATI or onboard card (anyway I heard some people has 3d
accelleration on ATI cards with ATI drivers on Linux).

Regards.

And some of us have 3D accelleration on ATI cards with DRI drivers. I bought an ATI card especially for that reason.

(Guess who)

I recently (few days ago) install the nVidia-6629 driver, and it worked fine, though when I check for the driver, it lists it as nv. O_o..

\'nv\' is the driver that will come with xorg/xfree86, and is an opensource video driver that works with nvidia graphics cards. It is a different driver to that which nvidia distributes in their 6629 software bundle, even though they work with the same hardware. The nvidia-provided driver is proprietry, but enables the majority of the hardware acceleration of the nvidia chip, it will vastly outperform the \'nv\' driver for graphic-intense apps like planeshift. The nvidia driver is called \'nvidia\'.

See this thread for more info on the nvidia driver:

I\'m aware there\'s a difference between the two, that\'s why I found it odd that I installed nVidia(-6629), yet when I checked the gfx card driver was listed as \'nv\'.

Well, you have to edit your config file after you installed the nvidia driver, have you done that?
