Configure X11 Driver with OpenGL

[ario]

Hi. Thanks for your guides. I have installed Planet Penguin Racer and the result was:

ario@ario-desktop:~$ ppracer

*** ppracer error: Couldn't initialize video: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL (Success)
ario@ario-desktop:~$

You see? Yet the damn X11 driver is not cofigured. I'm gonna die for this
I think all of this games working with a thing called SDL. Should i reinstall SDL to resolve it?

From searching google, the consensus appears to be that this error is caused by libsdl not being properly configured (specifically, it's not compiled with support for opengl) or (less likely) missing a module or whatnot in xorg.conf. My money's on the former, and if we can't figure out what's missing, perhaps a simple correct compile will do.

According to this post translated via babelfish from italian to english, I can't tell for sure, but it appears someone got this fixed..

it appears that this could possibly help, even though it's a problem trying to get Phun to work. I'm not sure which of these are unnecessary, but it couldn't hurt to use them all. The post is a little hard to understand, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to try, eh?

sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-net1.2 libglew1

I just thought of something. You don't happen to have Xgl installed, do you? If by chance you do, remove it because you don't need it with nvidia, and it could cause this type of problem.

I have read the google translation of that page carefully. I also reinstalled those sdl libraries for sdllib-image and libglew and etc by "sudo apt get" but no success. And guess what i find at the end of that page?

In summary:
1) drivers and owners acc. 3D are activated.
2) the "dependency" are fulfilled ..

I try to look for other possible solutions but I do not think I find nothing. My ideas are gone.

Eheheh yes indeed everything seems ok and I do not know where his head slamming
Thanks anyway aid and the time that I have dedicated Smiley

It seems that no one has figured out this problem Should i install suse or fedora-core instead of my lovely Ubuntu? I think Bill gates stands over us and just giggling .
By the way thank a lot all you guys for your helps and supports

If I were you, I'd try to install fresh from the Hardy beta cd first. If that still fails, then yeah, time to try something else.

this error "X11 driver not configured with OpenGL" does not appear to be confined to Ubuntu and affects other distro's as well (ref: google) ,you may experience the same problem

If you have tried with the 169.12 driver under 7.10 without success then i'd go Hardy - but then im biased (its great!!!)

Thank you.
The 8.04 version will release 13 days from now. I'm expecting for its release to download it and test it on my computer.
I hope this one works for me

Seven days to 8.04 to go
I've solved my problem with ..... SDL
I've found that this problem is caused by source of SDL not compiled with opengl. So Opengl is not enabled in sdl. So I've download sdl code from its website. followed its instructions and installed it step by step. Now My SDL is working like clock and i have found that Secret Maryo Cronicle is the very very best Super Mario Clone in the world.
Now i have a new problem. My SDL Mixer library cant recognize ogg sound effects and music in secret maryo. its shows me Unrecognized Sound file error. I've found that i should compile it with Vorbis lib to recognize those type of files. But how should i do that?
Thanks for your helps guys.

Good to hear you got it fixed + reckon you'll get a better response with a new thread for your "mixer" prob.

I wish you could point me to the guide that taught you how to compile sdl, for I am having the same problem right now.

So, why don't you put the guide, and afterwards, mark the thread as solved?
