OpenGL Issue

[StimpE]

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?

Try:

 

glxinfo | grep direct

 

does it say direct rendering = yes? Post back with results.

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.

[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.

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.

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.
