Help - X11 driver not configured for OpenGL
Hello,
I installed my fglrx drivers (catalyst 8.6) and fglrx confirmes that it should work.
Direct rendering ist working, too.display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY RADEON X600
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7659 Release
Desktop Effects work quite well.
But if I start an OpenGL Game (like Spring), I get the message mentioned in the topic.
What could be wrong and what could I do?
I should add, that I upgraded from 7.10 before. Perhaps the xorg.conf is corrupted?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards
Caradhras

No it does not!Originally Posted by adamk
When I launch ExtremeTuxRacer for example by typing etracer into terminal, I get the same error...
Do you get the error in the terminal or in a separate window? Are you running compiz at the time?
Adam
Desktop Effects are off.
I get the error in the terminal.
etracer

*** etracer error: Couldn't initialize video: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL (Resource temporarily unavailable)
That's very odd. Do other opengl games give the same error? Have you encountered any that do work?
Adam
Spring does show this Message as an xmessage window, i am just testing different games (sauerbraten)
sauerbraten gives me this:
sauerbraten
Using home directory: /home/xxx/.sauerbraten
init: sdl
init: enet
init: video: mode
Unable to create OpenGL screen: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL
Well, unfortunately, I don't know what's going on. What's the output of 'ldd /usr/bin/spring' ?
Adam
It must be installed somewhere else.ldd /usr/bin/spring
ldd: /usr/bin/spring: No such file or directory
But the problem must be something with the X server or OpenGL.
So would could I do beside dpkg reconfigure xserver?
