Nexuiz with XGL

[robdigital]

I am currently running Ubuntu Dapper 6.04 with full 3d acceleration and XGL. When I run nexuiz 1.5, the screen turns black and all I can see is my cursor. The error I get is 3d resampling not supported. Not sure if this is due to a missing library, or just because I am running XGL.

The output is:

I've never tried XGL, but do other games OpenGL work (like planetpenguin-racer or chromium?). If not it might be a problem with XGL...

(btw: how long did you wait for Nexuiz to start? 1.5 can take quite a while on some systems... )

Running XGL on gentoo here, i have the same error, i bypassed it by starting a second Xserver on vt8. works quite well apart from the fact that my xgl has died twice but that is not related to nexuiz.

relevant parts from my gdm.conf

Code: Select all

[servers]
# These are the standard servers.  You can add as many you want here
# and they will always be started.  Each line must start with a unique
# number and that will be the display number of that server.  Usually just
# the 0 server is used.
0=Xgl
1=Standard

[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0
flexible=true

[server-Xgl]
name=Xgl-Server
command=/usr/bin/Xgl :0 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv
flexible=true


you could also try starting a second xsession with 'startx -- :1', that didn't work for me but might for you
