iNFERiON Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I am having problems when I try to start a Linux game. Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual History: Exiting due to error What's wrong here ? Do I have the wrong video drivers or something ?

ShadowFoxLSU Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 What game is having this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNFERiON Posted January 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 (edited) several games I try to run under WineX, like Warcraft III and Airline Tycoon Evolution. I also get this lately with WineX games: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0" and then the screen goes and stays black until I alt-tab back to terminal. Then I have to logout and in of GNOME to get my display back from 640x480 to 1024x768. Real annoying.

Qchem Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 You're not running Fedora core 1 by any chance are you? Anyway it sounds like you're GL setup is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 use the command glxinfo then look for the line direct rendering like so [john@bob john]$ glxinfo | grep "direct" direct rendering: Yes [john@bob john]$ if direct rendering is yes opengl drivers should be working if not that will be your problem.

Rashko Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 I have the same problem trying to run Unreal Tournament 2004 and glxinfo says "No" direct rendering. The game will work with software rendering but it's reeeeeeaaaaly slow. What should I do now? I have a Radeon 340M (for laptop). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashko Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 I tried to get ATI drivers, but ati.com does't give laptop drivers, they say go to your laptop constructor. Hp.com does't give linux drivers. Am I stuck up with this problem forever?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 iNFERION -- what video card do you have? Post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I think theres a mistake in your DRI config. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 (edited) I've never seen a lap top running 3d games? It'd be nice. Maybe the laptop's video card doesn't have 3d support. Edited May 8, 2004 by william Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 I have played Warcraft 3, COunter Strike, Enemy Territory, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Tux Racer on my laptop which has integrated Intel video, that brrows memoy from main memory. Yep. 3D games are supported on laptops. Rashko yu are in a bit of trouble, ati dont provide drivers and your vendor aent providing drivers, so ill have a look see. In the meantime try the flgx (i think thats what they are called) ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Iphitus, what kind of 3D performance do you get from Intel video (in terms of glxgears), have you tried watching DVD's on it? Just curious for when I'm in the market for a new laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
