3-D Card Problems

#1 Post by BigPilot »

i have a 3-D Savage video card and I'm trying to run BZFlag.

I installed dri-savage.pup and opengl.pup and SdL4Doom.pup IIRC but when i run BZFlag from the console I get:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

Does this mean my card needs another driver?

1. 3D graphics requires not just additional drivers, but significant configuration. That's why MU created an installer - "3D Control Centre". Details of the most recent version of this installer are here - http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 0309#80309

2. Accelerated graphics support for Savage is limited. Recent versions of Puppy (since 2.10) have Xorg7.0 and the best that Mark can achieve under Xorg7.0 is 2D acceleration - http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 2993#72993

Under older versions of Puppy with Xorg6.8.1 (Puppy v1.0.4 - v2.02) full 3D support with Savage graphics may be possible using the modified Savage Xorg driver mentioned here - http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 3092#43092
