How to set screen depth for client

Hi guys!

I run the SecondLife-linux-02012006 and I have some problems with the screen depths for SL. Is there a manual override to tell the client that my screen IS set to 32bit?

Hi Tsutomu,

You don't say what graphics hardware/software you are using, but this is the same error I had before installing the latest graphics driver from Nvidia, so you might have to do the same.

--Larger

Actually I'm running an ATI card with my Xorg XServer set to 24bit (and it's only 24bits). I installed the official driver, but I'm running with fglrx driver. I know that wine could be told what screen depth to use, but can I tell SL that setting too?

24bit in Linux is equal to that odd 32bit setting in windows, so there shouldn't be such an error.

I'm having a similair problem. I do not have DRI enabled because I'm using the radeon Xorg drivers. I think this problem (for me) mostly has to do with me not configuring X correctly. I just wanted to say that I'm seeing the same problem. I think what could actually be the matter is OpenGL or GLX support working.

Im not sure if 24bit is the same in linux or what sl requires, the reason sl requires 32bit is because it displays 32bit tga's for transparencies, 8bits is used for each color and then the other 8bit channel is for the alpha layer

I have 2 video cards (xinerama) and my PCI video card doesn't support 24 or 32 bpp at high resolutions, so I usually use 16 bpp. This means I have to restart X with my 2nd video card disabled to run X in 24 bpp so that I can run SL. (Otherwise I get the usual error telling me to make sure I'm using 32-bit color.)

Anyone know if there is some way to get SL to run even if I'm in 16 bpp? I know it won't look as good, but restarting X is annoying when you have 20 different programs running in it.

This might solve the problems that people are having with SL in this thread. I tried the -ignorepixeldepth parameter (but editting the SL script), but that seems to have no effect on Linux (probably just leftover from Windows).

Hi guys same issue myself.

Except this time Nvidia card with latest drivers i believe.

It isn't. WHen Linux/X says 24-bit, it literally means 24-bit color (8-bits red, 8-bits green, 8-bits blue = 24-bits). The frame buffer, though, is more often than not 32-bit (an extra 8-bits for padding). Games typically use those extra 8 bits for an alpha value, but they don't count towards the color bit depth. To see this, check:

$ grep framebuffer /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(--) NVIDIA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xD0000000

So I have 24-bit color, but a 32-bit frame buffer (which is what SL requires).

Can you please paste your modlines from xorg.conf? Shall I change the 24bit modlines into 32bit?

BTW, this is my grep:

$ grep framebuffer /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) fglrx(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(--) fglrx(0): Linear framebuffer (phys) at 0xd8000000

Looks good, eh?

Could in detail say where and how you got latest drivers from, i got mine off synaptic package manager.

I downloaded version 1.0-8178 from the Nvidia website and used the installer that is packaged with the driver - the driver and installation instructions are here:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

Ok for anyone reading this in the future and as lost as me this will help you alot especially if your using Ubuntu.

Its a basic step by step on Nvidia Driver installation, it helped me with the options I just didn't understand. Why don't the creators of the installs do this already?


-Update: All updated with the new Driver. Exactly the same error.

NVIDIA GeFroce FX Go 5200 64MB

In your desktop settings is it actually set to something like millions of colors etc and not 16bit?

xorg.conf is currently set to 24 depth.

Update: Ingore me it worked fine after a reboot!

Hi guys!

Another update: I started my Xorg-server with the official ATI driver now (it is *so* slow!) and the message about screen depth is gone. But now it complains about missing GL things:

I'll search the forums for that error now, but I wanted to let you know what's happening with my installation.

Looks like it cant find any OpenGL extensions.

Anything with ARB, NV, or ATI in the name is an extension. What it's missing appears to be pretty common extensions however.

Mind running and pasting the output for `glxinfo`?

Right. The ATI Radeon 9000 isn't well support by Xorg/XFree. Can't paste my glxinfo yet, because I started my Xserver with fglrx again now, but I'll start it up with the ATI driver next time.

Anyway, here's the output of glxinfo with my fglrx driver (the one which complains about 32bit colors...):

Hm, and of course, the Xfree-GLI is missing - I run Xorg since last week... maybe SL checks hardcoded for XFree...? Hm, doubt it. I think my GL setup isn't working.

Nope. See:

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)

which says you're using the MESA software OpenGL drivers. And:

direct rendering: No

which says you're not getting any hardware acceleration.

Run this to see what errors occured when loading X:

grep "(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

and optionally:

grep "(WW)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Hopefully that'll say what went wrong when loading the fglrx drivers.

Ok, here's my grep:

(WW) The directory "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID" does not exist.
(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such device)
(WW) Ignoring request to load module GLcore
(WW) Ignoring request to load module speedo

(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO)             *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available                *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "RenderAccel" is not used
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" is not used

At the moment I install the new ATI driver for Xorg 6.8.2: fglrx_6_8_0-8.22.5-1

I tried with the RPM Version, but I'm using Debian, so there won't be too much hope. I download the installer script, too.

Hi guys!

After getting back to module loading, tried some manual modprobes, adding/removing radeon/fglrx/ati modules with agpgart and now it works. agpgart is loaded, 3D support is enabled with my Radeon 9000. SL started up properly and I'm online! Yeehaaaa!

Thanks all!

Tsutomu

if these are missing that means mesa is doing indirect instead of direct rendering. this was posted about I know, but just go to forums for your linux and find out how to install the DRI drivers for your video card. the glfrlx has some set up scripts u have to run after installing it.
