Having a problem with nexuiz

[beliyyal]

Hi guys, I am having a problem with nexuiz. It begins to start, then closes out again. I ran it in terminal, this is what I got:

****@Phantom:~$ nexuiz

The thing is, I can run alien arena, torcs, wolfenstein: enemy territory, and a few other 3D games, but not nexuiz, tremulous, and open arena. And this is what I get when I run glxgears:

1548 frames in 5.0 seconds = 309.427 FPS
1527 frames in 5.0 seconds = 305.318 FPS
1560 frames in 5.0 seconds = 311.893 FPS
1559 frames in 5.0 seconds = 311.723 FPS
1564 frames in 5.0 seconds = 312.640 FPS
1560 frames in 5.0 seconds = 311.864 FPS
1476 frames in 5.0 seconds = 295.049 FPS

Can someone please help me out?

Well, I'm no expert, but

Unable to load GL driver "(null)": No dynamic GL support in video driver

seems to say that it's about your video driver? Maybe try updating it?

Here is the relevant problem I think:

Trying to load library... "libOffscreenGecko.so" "/usr/lib/games/nexuiz/libOffscreenGecko.so" - failed.

To troubleshoot this you should tell us:
1. What video card do you have?
2. If your video card is ati or nvidia, do you have the proper driver installed?
This thread from the Nexuiz forums confirms that this issue can be fixed by installing the proper driver:

Your FPS from glxgears are pretty low to be running a 3D game like Nexuiz.
To see if direct rendering is enabled, run this:

 glxinfo | grep -i direct

It should report: direct rendering: Yes
