Gentoo couldn't fint matching GLX visual

Post by verb0ss »

I keep getting an error on my fresh gentoo install whenever i try to run spring.
Could not set video mode:
Couldn't find matching GLX visual
I have tryed everything including running game in windowed mode and set everything to minimum. On my old install everything was OK but somehow i can't make it work this time. GLXGears shows descant level of frames and i have no problem running other applications with openGL.

double check that anti aliasing is off

and make sure the resolution you've set is supported by your video card ( anti aliasing multiplies the resolution )

As i said I checked everything. All options are set to minimum and i tried 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions. Nothing helps. The only difference from my old setup is that i had to change my monitor if it matters.

do you have graphic driver installed and running? This message usually appears when you did not set up graphic driver. Can you start other 3D-applications?

Edit:// hupps, I didnt read your comment correctly

Ok i solved this problem. It appears that glx applications can work correctly only when desktop depth is set to 24bit. I've noticed that some other games didn't work because of that. Since i have changed to 24 bits everything works well. :-)
