Opengl problems

[halus]

Hi

Tried to get UFO: Alian Invasion to work on this rather old computer. p2 350Mhz, 192 RAM, and a GF2 with 64 RAM. After following some advices on the net, opengl seems not to work at all. So I can not play chromium as I used to.

$ glxgears
369 frames in 5.0 seconds = 73.800 FPS
339 frames in 6.0 seconds = 56.500 FPS
339 frames in 5.0 seconds = 67.800 FPS


I think I know what I did to destroy the opengl. This command:
set gl_driver "/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2"

I have tried to set other paths to libGL.so.*, and I have tried to reinstall the nvidia drivers. Nothing has helped.

Any suggestions?

What does the command 'glxinfo' say?

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)There's your problem (not sure about all the other text) but that should say something with nvidia or whatever, not mesa. Mesa is the software opengl renderer. You need to install the drivers for your card, or if you have, they didn't work as they should.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
or search the forums for the various howtos.

Yai, after following the manual to (re)install the driver, opengl and chromium are working.
Thanks.

But I still cant run that UFO game. ref:

Installed the game using the loki-installer from here:
