Hi guys, This is a (pretty) fresh install of Mandrake 8. When I try to run tuxracer (as installed by the distro), I get this error: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". *** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual (Success) Anyone have any suggestions what it could be? I am running X (4.0.3) with KDE2 on a Geforce 2 MX 32meg card on a celeron 400MHz with 320 megs of ram. Any help would be great Thanks, Bill Omer |

Like I said, it's a fresh install of Mandrake 8.0 (tuxracer is installed with the distribution). Apparently, this program (along with a few others), do not work out of the box. I'll go out and install the nVideo OpenGL drivers, that should fix the problem. Am I the only person that you've seen with problems running tuxracer with Mandrake 8.0 (installed with the os)? I'll let you know how this works out Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Baker" <sjb...@ai...> To: <tux...@li...> Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 12:12 AM Subject: Re: [tuxracer-main] tuxracer problem with Mandrake 8.0 > Bill Omer wrote: > > > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". > > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". > > *** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX > > visual (Success) > > > > Anyone have any suggestions what it could be?

Well, I have a 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000, which worked beautifully on Mandrake 7.2 for tuxracer and other 3D activities. Alas, 3D is dog slow for me on Mandrake 8.0. I don't get errors, I just get slowness. That doesn't really apply to you since you have a different card, but I thought I'd pitch in with a whine. I thought I'd give it another week and look around for the solution that is sure to be published soon. -- Dave Brown <n2...@lo...> On Mon, 30 Apr 2001, Bill Omer wrote: > Like I said, it's a fresh install of Mandrake 8.0 (tuxracer is installed > with the distribution).

Possibly a driver issue? Until I installed the correct drivers for my video card, I wasn't able to do 3d anything, and the video card was supper slow. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David C.

I've had this problem before, but what fixed it then isn't working now. I am running Mandrake 7.2 with a Turtle Beach Montego II sound card. I understand there's a problem with aureal drivers, and that sound must be disabled in order for TuxRacer to run up to speed. I've done that and everything was fine, but now it's running slowly again and I can't tell why. Any help would be appreciated. - J. McConnell |

Bill, check out the fine print for Mandrake 8.0. It tells you that the nVidia drivers are only included with the retail box. (Due to licensing). I assume you downloaded your copy. How is it by the way? I'm running 7.0 At 08:32 AM 4/30/2001, you wrote: >Like I said, it's a fresh install of Mandrake 8.0 (tuxracer is installed >with the distribution).

I never noticed that. When I saw that it setup the nVidia drivers for me in the X configuration, I thought everything was golden. For the most part, 8.0 is a big improvement. The installation was unbelievably easy. It even found my printer on a windows machine on my network and was able to print off a test page during the setup. That impressed me, the guys at Xerox told me I wouldn't be able to use this printer in Linux at all :) I guess someone finally wrote a drive for it The only main problem I've seen is the font's it uses by default. They are really bad, and I've heard others complaining about them as well. Just a couple of clicks in the configuration and it seemed to fix it right up. It has a Control Center that allows you setup all your hardware, network configuration, services, users etc..etc.. with a nice gui. It will even let you setup a home firewall with a few clicks of the mouse, now that was nice :) It's based on the 2.4.3 kernel, so it comes with a ton of support built right in. Being 2 CD's long, there is a ton of software you can install. There also have a program for software management. It will let you do a query to see if a piece of software was installed, if not, it will let you install it right then and there, from the installation cd's, or from a ftp mirror site for updates and security patches. That too is a very nice feature. All en' all, I'm impressed MDK 8.0. If you ask me, it's the best distro for newbies and for the desktop. Now if it would just come complete with jdk and staroffice... :) There are many more pro's then con's with Mandrake 8.0. I'd highly recommend it. As soon as I get the time, I'll go out and install the drivers for my video card and let you know it turns out Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl & Paula Zeilon" <PCZ...@at...> To: <tux...@li...> Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 11:20 AM Subject: Re: [tuxracer-main] tuxracer problem with Mandrake 8.0 > Bill, check out the fine print for Mandrake 8.0.

After installing the nVidia drivers (from source, off their web site) the game works like a dream :) What a great game, too guys!
