Issue with GLX Visuals

[teinedraig]

Hi,

I have an NVIDIA 6600 card and while I can run many other games I cannot get Spring to work. Once I select a single player game and have selected the map, mod and AI I get the following error :

Could not set video mode
Couldn't set matching GLX visual

Any ideas very much appreciated

[thesleepless]

what is the output of

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep direct

and what resolution are you using in spring? it may be one unsupported by your X server, check which ones are supported by running

Code: Select all

xrandr

You probably need to add the needed res to your Xorg.conf

I'm getting the same error message after compiling Spring. I would use the Ubuntu repository, but it's down. I know I got the right resolution in my xorg.conf as I'm getting that resolution on my desktop. Any ideas?

Sorry for the long delay - work interferes again :)

Out put is as follows :

Code: Select all

 glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

and

Code: Select all

xrandr

I had this, my problem was the AA setting was too high. It was set to x16 when I could only do x4 AA. Try changing spring setting to lower setting or turn off AA. Springlobby has a settings GUI integrated into it,so use that if you use that lobby. The AA option is found in expert mode and under the tab "Render Quality/Video Mode".

Thank you very much - I set AA to 4 and away I went.

I never even noticed that slider.

Now to have some fun :)
