Re: OpenGL Screensave help

[Alfonso Landin <alfonslp teleline es>]

Have you tried other program using openGL?
If you haven't, try with quake III. If it doesn't work then the problem
is with your drivers configuration and not with xscreenserver-GL.
It can happen two things:
   - You have a copy of Mesa-based, software only library somewhere in
your system. Look in /usr/X11R6/bin or somewhere else in your library
path for libGL.so*. Make sure isn't the NVidia's drivers copy (I thnik
it is instaled in /usr/lib), and delete it. Restart X and all should
work.
   - Your loading GLcore before GLX in your XF86Config file. Look in the
X log messages for a message telling you if you are sure that you are
not trying to load GLcore.

If quake, or other GL software works, then the problem is with
xscreensaver. There I can't help. I have the same configuration and have
working the drivers, tested with xscreensaver, quake III and q3radiant.
