Re: [Super-tux-devel] Milestone 2 - OpenGL only(?)

[Alex V. <al...@co...>]

I've never had much luck getting the OpenGL mode to work.

I'm running SuperTux under Ubuntu "Warty"  on an HP Pavilion zv5000 
laptop (1.6 GHz Athlon XP-M, 512MB RAM, nVidia GForce4 32MB). When I 
switch from SDL to OpenGL on the Options menu the screen goes black and 
stays that way. The game doesn't crash, but I can't "see" anything until 
I manual edit the ~/.supertux/config file back to SDL mode.

Personally, I wouldn't mind SuperTux being OpenGL only if I could get it 
working. But, on the other hand, I do think we'd lose a lot of players.

Anyone have a guess about my OpenGL problem? Other OpenGL apps seem to 
work fine...

Best Regards,
Alex :-)
