[Juanito]

Which application are you trying to use?

Which x server are you using - Xvesa, Xfbdev or Xorg-7.7?

[rullolex]

Hi Juanito

I have build  teeworld a video game,

I have try both xorg and xvesa and I have the same error.

thank you

[Juanito]

Have you tried Xorg-7.7-3d?

[rullolex]

Hi Juanito,

Thank you for your reply. With Xorg-7.7-3d it works.

Unfortunately my netbook is to old and it works slowly

You might want to check with the mesa-demos extension if hardware acceleration is enabled:

Code: [Select]

$ glxinfo | grep Accel
    Accelerated: yes


[rullolex]

I will try later. It's possible it's just my slow internet connection the problem

Thank you

[rullolex]

Hi Juanito,

I have try but I had

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ glxinfo | grep Accel
sh: glxinfo: not found
tc@box:~$


[Juanito]

You need to load the mesa-demos extension.

[rullolex]

You need to load the mesa-demos extension.

you are right, I forgot to load mesa-demos as you say.

this is the out put,

Code: [Select]

[tc@box:~$ glxinfo | grep Accel
    Accelerated: no
tc@box:~$

it is possible to enable the hardware acceleration?

[Juanito]

What graphics hardware do you have?

From the console prompt, check that Xorg-7.7-3d and graphics-KERNEL are loaded, then "startx" and check if hardware acceleration is enabled.

If hardware acceleration is still not enabled, perhaps your hardware requires a driver and/or firmware to be loaded.

Thant you

[Juanito]

You can use the lspci command from the pci-utils extension to check what graphics hardware you have.

[rullolex]

Hi,

it is the output of lspci

Code: [Select]

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GSE Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
what do you think?

xf86-video-intel and possibly firmware-intel are needed, in addition to Xorg-7.7-3d.
