SL won't work on new install of SUSE

My harddrive crashed and I had to do a complete fresh install.

So on a totally clean new install of OpenSuse 11.1 (32bit), I installed the NVIDIA driver (180.51) using the command line method. Fresh redownload of Second Life. Consequently, there is no bad .secondlife folder or files to interfere.

Second Life will not run though. I get window creation errors.
Running SL from the command line I get these errors:

2009-05-31T19:39:22Z WARNING: isFeatureAvailable: Feature RenderCubeMap not on feature list!

2009-05-31T19:39:22Z WARNING: createContext: createContext: window creation failure. SDL: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

When I run glxgears I get a frame rate in the 5000s.


Sax2 does not offer 32 bit color as an option. 24 bit is the highest.

My video card is an NVIDIA 7950GT The best AGP card I seem to be able to currently get.

Second Life ran just fine for me on the previous install of 11.1. I simply do not understand what the difficutly is or how to fix it.

first, check if the nvidia driver is actually working... on current computers, "glxgears" with 5000 fps can be done in software.

do this command:
glxinfo |grep -i rendering

the output should look like this:
direct rendering: Yes

if it does not look like that, fix your nvidia driver installation first.

if it does, and SL still doesnt start, attach the whole SecondLife.log file to a reply here.

Thank you for your reply.

glxinfo |grep -i rendering

returned

direct rendering: Yes

second life log is as follows:

ok, first bad thing i noticed: you're running as root.

do not do that.

never ever.

the only thing you ever want to do as the root user (system administrator) is administer your system (install patches, etc).


now for the SL problem:
paste the full output of glxinfo and xdpyinfo (after you logged in as the normal user that you should be creating right now...), and a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf please...

Lance be of good cheer. Rest assured that the only reason I was doing that from my root account is because I was restoring my (L)user account form backup and didn't want to wait on the possibility of getting things fixed. My user account is currently restored (with a minimal amount of data loss.

so here is the results you ask for:

What about libc6 or whatever it is. Got libc6 2.9 here.
Had some recent trouble with that. Only after Ubuntu 8.10 has it. Some distros have not got the latest libs and the viewers are being built on the newer versions.

libc6 is in the package libapt-pkg-libc6_9-6-2 with version of 0.5.15lorg3.2-123.12 dated with a build time of 3 dec 2008.

So I don't know if that is the latest or not.

you're running in 16 bit colordepth... change that to 24bits and you should be fine.

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf change the DefaultDepth line in the Screen section...

found it fixed it.

THANK YOU!


My next question is why sax2 left it this way? I thought I changed it. and the video card is showing up as VESA inside of sax2 and won't update.

shrug... that is hardly your problem. SL is working now thank you.

now for all the other usual problems. like sound. LOL.
