#6 My Indy don't like GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER (swt.c about line 305)

[Anonymous]

When compiling dune with the native IRIX 6.5 compilers
and excuting it on a Indy with

Graphics board: Indy 24-bit

(Newport, XL 24)

i get a errormessage when starting dune:

$./dune
couldn't find an appropriate visual for OpenGL, bailing

This can be fixed with commenting out line 305 of the
current version of swt/motif/swt.c in the latest
CVS release:

// GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER, GL_TRUE,

Then it works on my machine.

The Bug also occures on other SGI machines, like

SGI Indigo2 (High Impact)
SGI O2 (CRM)
SGI Indigo (Newport)

I recommend to make a Doublebuffer test part of
the configure script.

This problem has been solved in white_dune
http://www.csv.ica.uni-stuttgart.de/vrml/dune
by calling GLXchooseVisual with GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER
to test if doublebuffer is supported, and
without GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER if it is not supported
