Probably a good idea to put this here, too.. (Graphics problems)
Ron Bleac Registered User Join date: 23 Jun 2008 Posts: 6	10-03-2008 16:20 Oh well, I figured I should put this here too, since resident's know best. To put a long story short, I recently acquired a GTX280 and after that I have been receiving "Second Life is unable to run because your video card drivers are out of date or unsupported. Please make sure you have the latests video card drivers ..." errors. Is there a work around to this ? I've heard of such a thing as "--noprobe" but that hasn't worked for me, or maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Any helping hands ? Please ? I'm desperate, and yes I've tried Jira numerous times already. Another thing that is puzzling is that I've seen other people use GTX280's on SL with no problems at all.

Per Chalice Yao: "A temporary fix is to enable the advanced menu with ctrl+alt+shift+d In the advanced menu, disable: advanced -> rendering -> features -> palletized textures This is only a temporary fix, as it reverts on each login." If you are affected by this bug then that jira entry would be the best place to stay informed for when a fix is found. _____________________ I (who is a she not a he) reserve the right to exercise selective comprehension of the OP's question at anytime.
