StimpE Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I had America's Army workin fine then all of a sudden when I try to start it, It exits with an openGL error. [landon@localhost ~]$ armyops Could not load OpenGL library History: Exiting due to error How do I get openGL back on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Try: glxinfo | grep direct does it say direct rendering = yes? Post back with results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Which graphics card and driver are you using? When using the nvidia driver you will often get that error after installing update X packages from xorg. You may not notice it for a while since everything else works fine, just OpenGL is messed up. The solution is to reinstall the nvidia driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StimpE Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 [landon@localhost ~]$ glxinfo | grep direct glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Mandriva 2006, ATI Radeon 9800 PRO, ATI proprietary driver module.

pmpatrick Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Try reinstalling your ati driver. An xorg update seems to break all the linking to the OpenGL libraries with the nvidia driver. Reinstalling fixes that. I'm guessing your having the same problem with your ati driver.

ianw1974 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Could be you've not got the mesa opengl libraries installed for the opengl stuff: urpmi Mesa and then reboot and try the glxinfo command again. Mesa is case-sensitive, so make sure you type Mesa and not mesa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
