fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!

I have tried to search for this without success, so if this is a repeat, please forgive me.

I noticed when I launched the application that I get the following error rapidly and repeatedly in right after it starts to render the world itself:

fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!

This happens even with LL_GL_BASICEXT=x, LL_GL_NOEXT=x both on.

I am running on a ThinkPad T60p (ATI FireGL 5200)

Need any more info?

I see the same error message on my Thinkpad T43p which has the ATI v3200. This occurs even when disabling the use of gl extensions. It seems to start when the SL window changes focus... I've always had that problem but my driver version is now 8.32.5.

I just assumed this is just one of the many problems with those ATI drivers... Any fix that would allow SL to be playable on my laptop would be appreciated.

Thanks

add this line to your /etc/fstab

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

and then

mount /dev/shm

on the command line

as root

that did it on my laptop with ATI Radeon xpress 1100

I added that to /etc/fstab but I still get the same error. I get the error, the screen locks, and i have to either hard reset my machine (t43p with v3200 mob radeon) or wait for it to overheat and shut itself down!

Im not convinced this is entirely it, so will post all the relevant files/code in a new thread in hope of getting a working SL

this new thread which is talked about by the previous poster is located here I think:
/263/ce/171577/1.html


might be worthwhile taking a look at that one too, seems to be the same problem, though no solution as of yet
