Ixthusdan Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 I use kde, but 3ddesktop crashed the first time I ran it, everytime. It would then function normally. I found that upgrading to kde 3.1 rc6 stopped the crashes. I don't know what that means for blackbox. I do know that your video drivers must be working well. I am not much help.

Guest Kamikaze_Gerbil Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Do you have a Nvidia card with the latest drivers? I had to go back one version cause they caused me probs with 3ddesk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Damn Newbies.....:) He has a GeForce2 MX. he has the latest version of the Nvidia drivers, and all dependencies are filled. We can't seem to get to tthe bottom of this one. I had it running on an identical machine not 2 weeks prior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 interesting note...viewing the readme (http://desk3d.sourceforge.net/README) it appears as if blackbox is not officially supported (it's not even mentioned), although fluxbox is-oddly enough. have you tried it under a different WM? i use waimea (not supported), and it can't seem to pick up more than one desktop.
