WARNING: could not load plugin 'crystalspace.graphics3d.software'

[spjoe]

Hi

I use Ubuntu 9.04 amd 64 linux. I have visual errors with OpenGl (i use a 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) graphic device)
This card apparently does not support all the opengl stuff. so i want to use the software renderer. I changed in psclient.cfg one line System.Plugins.iGraphics3D = crystalspace.graphics3d.opengl to System.Plugins.iGraphics3D = crystalspace.graphics3d.software. But i get this error if i start the psclient
----
$ ./psclient

the software render isn't shipped with the official client (you need to use a self built client with self built cs) additionally it's extremely slow, has a lot of graphic glitches and was removed from cs trunk (this means next version won't have it anymore)

thx

what should i do next

Buy a PC with Nvidia or ATI graphics ... PlaneShift will become even more graphically intense in the future. It may be an MMORPG, but it is a 3D application which needs a certain level of hardware accelleration and feature support.

better  nvidia. ati isn't the best with drivers, actually the worse even intel is better,  and on linux it's just a nightmare and their closed source driver (let's face it only closed source drivers can be considered for 3d graphic seriously)  drops support for cards too fast and doesn't support newer kernel without horrid patches
