Hi, |
2 |
My son wanted to play America's Army under Linux so I downloaded |
3 |
and installed a copy. When I started it it complained about a missing |
4 |
DRI interface, among other things: |
5 |
|
6 |
mark@lightning ~ $ ./armyops |
7 |
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". |
8 |
Cheat protection disabled |
9 |
WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change! |
10 |
Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0". |
11 |
|
12 |
Either GL_EXT_bgra or glDrawRangeElements not supported- bailing out. |
13 |
|
14 |
History: |
15 |
|
16 |
Exiting due to error |
17 |

So, do you think it's bailing due to the DRI missing or is it a GL |
20 |
issue? I don't understand GL at all so I probably need to get some |
21 |
education. |
22 |
|
23 |
Am I corrct in remembering that DRI was not even supported on AMD64 |
24 |
back when I built this machine? (Possibly about a year ago?) If so is |
25 |
this still the case? lsmod seems to say that drm is loaded: |
26 |
|

mark@lightning ~ $ /sbin/lsmod |
