Re: [PlayerStage-Gazebo] wxgazebo: no rendering context

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi Tom,

There seems to be some extensions that the ATI driver for linux do not
support (on that generation at least). I've been using gazebo on my
final year project too, creating the PeopleBot model and i was getting
lots of grief from my ATI enabled laptop. There is a nice document
over here: http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Gazebo-manual-cvs-html/ga=
zebo_opengl.html
explaining what is what.

My suggestion is to get an nvidia card if possible, else wait for the
new release with the new rendering engine as Nate mentioned.

Regards,
Kostas
