1 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 mark@lightning ~ $

19 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
27 mark@lightning ~ $ /sbin/lsmod
