croquet noob with nvidia problem
Locked
 
|
hello,
i just installed croquet after reading the whole idea of it, and watching some videos. Really great software! I got a problem though. I tested the program on my laptop(ATI X700/centrino), and it worked fine. On my desktop(nvidia gforce 6600) i get an opengl initialization error. I checked glxgears/glxinfo and hw-acceleration should work fine. Is this a known issue? Can it be fixed? Thanks in advance. Jeroen |

The problem probably is here: Whenever you upgrade your OS, or install software which updates the video drivers, part of the openGL installation might get corrupted. Dont ask me why, what, where. I dont know, but the general advice seems to be: Reinstall the original video drivers of your sound card. reinstal openGL and go ahead... I had the very same problem with Second Life and with Croquet on Windoiws XP. Microsoft is known to ignore open GL ;-) Following the description above helped in my case. Hussayn |

hm,
i tested it on windows xp on the same machine, and it works fine now. I believe it should be some problem with nvidia drivers for linux. Weird :S 2007/2/2, Hussayn Dabbous <

Microsoft is known to ignore open GL ;-) Actually, XP is known to (actively) disable acceleration for Open GL. -KenD

It must be one heckuva job to keep the hardware openGL that is built in the card aligned with the software openGL. When having problems, it's better to check their site for known problems and workarounds.

no,
I think that new nvidia drivers automagically get compiled into the kernel, whenever the kernel gets updated from the repository. I checked glxinfo, and direct acceleration is on. Other opengl apps(blender/google earth, etc.) work just fine. greetz, jeroen 2007/2/2, Ric Moore <[hidden email]>: On Fri, 2007-02-02 at 09:36 +0100, Hussayn Dabbous wrote: |

I run Fedora Core 6 and the way to get nvidia opengl drivers is to use
the livna repository, and use yum to install the package kmod-nvidia or kmod-nvidia-96xx (if you have a slightly less new nvidia chip). Whenever the kernel updates, the kmod-nvidia package that works with that kernel gets updated. I beliee the same sort of thing works with other distros. Alternatively, download the proper linux driver package from www.nvidia.com, and *whenever your kernel gets updated* you need to boot into runlevel 3 (text mode) and "sh NVIDIA...sh" as root to update kernel module. This is the nvidia drill. The ATI drill relates to kmod-fglrx and/or the comparable ATI driver. phreakys wrote: > no, > > I think that new nvidia drivers automagically get compiled into the > kernel, whenever the kernel gets updated from the repository. > I checked glxinfo, and direct acceleration is on.
