Avatar Rendering I found Avatar Rendering and Avatar Vertex Program settings disabled (greyed) by default. I got them working by commenting a line in the secondlife script. You may find it in your SecondLife_i686_1_12_2_7 directory. Turn off SL, edit the secondlife file, look for the "Avoid the optional OpenGL extensions" stanza, then place a # at the begin of the uncommented line, so that it says #export LL_GL_BASICEXT=x Restart SL: hopefully, you should now be able to enable Avatar Vertex Program and Avatar Vertex Program settings. Thanks to Adam Kaupas for this :)

Sound

Sound in SL is finally here... and it's not too bad. But if you're running in Windowed mode (which amazily sticks and keeps size), plus an IM program, and ALSA with it's native multi-sound mixer, you'll find that SL immedately goes for OSS. Disable OSS, and it hangs on ALSA. The last option is ESD, aka ESound or the Enlightment Sound Daemon, which is used in Gnome... but uses ALSA itself!
So, disable OSS and ALSA in the client and run ESD. It'll work nicely!

From: Signore Iredell place a # at the begin of the uncommented line, so that it says #export LL_GL_BASICEXT=x Restart SL: hopefully, you should now be able to enable Avatar Vertex Program and Avatar Vertex Program settings. Please remember, however, that LL_GL_BASICEXT=x is on by default for a reason! |
