QGL_Init: Can't load libGL.so.1 from /etc/ld.so.conf or current dir: No dyna....

[computerquip]

Gentoo Linux USER:

I'm tried creating a symlink but /usr/local/games/tremulous/libGL.so.1 does not exist.

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 doesn't work.

emerge tremulous installed it inside of /usr/games/tremulous/ which seems to be fine but it it has a problem with the following:
QGL_Init: Can't load libGL.so.1 from /etc/ld.so.conf or current dir: No dynamic GL support in video driver

I use a nVidia GeForce FX5500...

eselect opengl show:
_nvidia

Any Suggestions?

Which nvidia driver are you using? nv or nvidia? The open source nv driver has no GL support, you have to use the blob. Also paste me the output of locate libGL.

[computerquip]

I do NOT use nv. I use nVidia's driver...

I've never used the locate command unfortunately and plus it asks me for a user database. I'll give you Gnome's Search Modules output though which should be the exact same:

Get a legacy driver here:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

And try:

glxgears in console/terminal

[computerquip]

Geforce FX5500 Series is not part of the legacy series.
Or at least I didn't think it was, I'll look into it...

[Bissig]

Quote from the Nvidia download page:

Latest Legacy GPU version (173.14.xx series): 173.14.12

[computerquip]

glxgears gives me about 300 fps a second.

Whats the difference between Legacy drivers for linux and non-Legacy drivers?
I'd rather not randomly install drivers all over the place, my system is fragile...lol

[Bissig]

Legacy drivers are drivers for cards Nvidia deems "outdated". 300 fps is very low. I got more with my old GF2MX400. And with my - still old - GF4Ti4200 I get about 2000-3000 fps (might partially depend on the CPU though).

Maybe try to reinstall the driver. Check xorg.conf for errors.

LMFAO, FX5500 is a generation and a half ahead of the MX400. I don't think that is fps. That is Frames per five seconds.

I ran it again, I got about 2496 average...

[computerquip]

It DOES seem that gentoo's 'emerge nvidia-drivers' is a version behind. Plus this may cause unusual problems with programs so I'll just install it manually. I'll post when I get behind..

Yooooo I kept that glxgears demo running and it got up to about 7000 FP five seconds...Wth? lol

[computerquip]

Sorry for multi posting.

I installed the drivers. Settings were kept the same.

I find that Direct Rendering isn't available when I'm in a user mode but is when I'm in root.
Just a note.

Same problem though

[Archangel]

Normally I'd say DRI permissions. But I might be wrong, I don't think nVidia drivers use DRI.. Check your Xorg config file. Should have something like this

There is no mode there...Does that mean something?

[Taiyo.uk]

It means you need to put Mode 0666 in your DRI section to allow non-root users to use DRI.

[computerquip]

Well, it didn't work. I did

Code Select Expand

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
again to no success. I still get the same error. Anymore suggestions?

[Archangel]

Remove the group line.

[computerquip]

Tested it with and without and neither worked.

So:

I've tried exporting a Preload varible.
I've tried editing my xorg
Could someone send me a symlink command that could properly make a symlink because I'm not sure if what I'm doing is correct.
I've tried turning on direct rendering.
I've added my user to video group.
What else is there...

[kevlarman]

LD_PRELOAD won't help with anything, libGL is dlopened(), something you have apparently decided to not compile support for.

[computerquip]

LD_PRELOAD won't help with anything, libGL is dlopened(), something you have apparently decided to not compile support for.

And you base this one what...
Is this inside of a kernel? It doesn't seem to be.

Anyways, I'm not sure what to do...Someone help me out here...

[computerquip]

Gentoo has an ebuild that does this for me. They didn't install 10.0 or did they? 
I dunno but I'm recompiling what seems to be libsdl-1.2.13

[computerquip]

That didn't do diddly.

[Bissig]

I ran it again, I got about 2496 average...

On the left it shows the frames run in 5 seconds, on the right it shows the resulting averaged frames PER SECOND. So, 7000 frames/5 seconds = 1400. which is only about 50 percent faster than my very old GF2MX400.

[computerquip]

And this helps me how?

[Syntac]

Whoa, a House wallpaper! Can has?

To answer your question, the fact that glxgears works means your system has OpenGL capabilities.

[computerquip]

You can has once I find it again! Its one of my fav episodes.

I changed Gentoo tarballs, optimized somethings including my kernel and configuration, and maybe it'll work on the KDE desktop. >.< I dunno...

EDIT: LMFAO! Now gentoo won't compile it at all!! LOLOL Looks like I'ma have to try the pre-built.
