Hi Dave,
As prior msg says, I replaced the video card. Did a
"fgfs --log-level=warn"
and got this:
"[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ fgfs --log-level=warn
freeglut (fgfs): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display
':0.0'"
What do I need to do to get "OpenGL GLX extension"?
Thx,
Dick
This sounds very much like you don't have the opengl drivers properly
installed. Assuming you replaced your video card with some nvidia
geforce card you should go to the nvidia.com web site, and download the
latest linux drivers and save it someplace on your HD.
Now login as root and kill your x-server. If you are running some sort
of redhat/fedora system you would type "init 3" at the root # prompt.
Now run the nvidia driver install package you just downloaded. You
would type something like:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8174-pkg1.run
Again, you must be logged in as root to do this.
Follow the onscreen instructions and answer the questions as best you
can. If all goes well the drivers should install themselves.
Now, back at the root prompt (root#) type "init 5" to restart xwindows.
You should see a nvidia splash screen pop up briefly. If you see the
splash screen and everything else comes up looking ok, you are probably
good to go.
It's really not all that hard assuming you know how to log into your
machine as root/superuser and assuming you can type a couple commands
and assuming you can download a file off the internet and assuming you
can figure out a reasonable way to start/stop xwindows on your machine.
Regards,
Curt.
