Fedora :: Installing Mesa To Do Open GL Programming?
Jan 7, 2010
I'm taking a course in school on computer graphics and we are using Linux as the main operating system. I myself am more accustomed to using windows but have always wanted to give Linux a try. So the other day I dual-booted my laptop with Fedora 12 and so far I'm liking it. I do have one main question however. I need to install Mesa to do my OpenGL programming with but I'm not sure how to install it. I have downloaded a tar.gz file from the Mesa website and have tried running it from the terminal by using these commands: (note: the commands are from the Linux Newbie Guide i found on google)
cd /Tudor's Home/local
tar -xvzf /Tudor's Home/MESA/MesaLib-7.7.tar.gz
cd "the new directory it was extracted to" (gets changed to the actual extraction folder)
./configure
make
make install
Now, I'm not sure why this doesn't work. The extracting doesn't even work so I'm not sure whether these commands are the same in Fedora or what I am doing wrong? I have installed aMSN from an rpm file and it worked perfectly but I'm not sure how to install using makeFiles. Any good tutorials on makeFiles and how to install them? or a link to Mesa as an rpm file? So I can start learning OpenGL.

I installed mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package using yum in Fedora 12. I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450. After the reboot as soon as the fedora bubble fills up the screen goes blank with a blinking cursor. You can type in that black screen and do nothing else. When you press alt+ctrl+del a few services are stopped and the system is rebooted.

Short description of the problem: I need to have freeglut3-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev and libgl1-mesa-swx11 installed at the same time. How to do it?There are no hardware drivers for my GPU (ATI Radeon HD 4290), so I must use the software rasterizer:libgl1-mesa-swx11. Fortunately I have a very fast hex-core CPU so rendering in software doesn't slow down the computer.I make OpenGL games in C, so I need these packages to be able to compile my games:freeglut3-devlibglu1-mesa-devlibgl1-mesa-devBut if they are installed, libgl1-mesa-swx11 must be replaced by libgl1-mesa-glx.libgl1-mesa-glx is the hardware rasterizer and doesn't work, because I don't have the needed hardware drivers.Currently, I have to install/remove/reinstall those 4 packages before compiling a program and then do it again after compiling to be able to run the program,

I'm using an ATI Mobility Radeon 3450, an R6xx card, with the radeon driver. I've been wanting 3D acceleration and was considering trying the experimental DRI support with Mesa 3D. So my questions are:
1. How experimental is experimental at this point? Is the specific mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package more-or-less static?
2. Would I be better off with Mesa 7.6 from the repository or 7.7? What would be the best approach before installing it?

In several threads I read about installing an ati card on fc12. mesa-dri-drivers-experimental should be a good choice. So I installed it, made a reboot and nothing changed. In the xorg.conf "vesa" ist set. When I put "mesa" there and reboot, x dont starts. Whats wrong? Btw I am using igp hd 4200 and fc12-64bit

I've been struggling with getting my graphics card configured under a fresh install of F13. I have an ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3 and when I run glxinfo this is the result:
Code:
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, ....
What concerns me are the lines:
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
If I try to enable Desktop Effects it tells me I have no 3D acceleration. So 3D acceleration not supported for this card using the open source, stock install drivers? I'd like to avoid the proprietary ATI ones if I can. Background on the video card here: [URL]. It's the cheap-o model in the HD 5XXX series and based on the article above it seems to be more of a beefed up version of the HD 4XXX chip design than a true HD5XXX series card.

I just found new mesa-dri drivers in the updates-testing repo, installed all of them, uninstalled kmod-nvidia, and it just worked with my geforce 9500GT. For me, this is a huge step forward, the only thing still giving problems is the DVI signal, so I'm stuck in VGA. Even then, I was able to get a better resolution with the DVI signal using this testing drivers than with the nvidia ones (I tried several links suggested by DBelton in the nvidia-installation thread for fixing the DVI issue, to no avail).

I have been only using the free vmware server thus far for my virtualization I have recently installed Fedora 11 and am currently looking at using the XEN virtualization software. I am currently running and upgrade from F10 to Fedora 11 with the PAE kernel. Also I am using KDE 4 with kmod-nivida drivers. Now here is what I have done
To install Virtualization requirements I did the following: sudo yum groupinstall 'Virtualization'
I then also did: sudo yum install kvm qemu libvirt python-virtinst
I then installed xen:
sudo yum install xen*
Now, I read that i needed "kernel-xen" but it doesn't appear to exists a "yum list kernel*' only displays kernel packages and the kernel PAE pakages so I figured I don't need it I then started all the xen services and libvirtd service Opened virt-manager and added a new connection: hupervisor: Xen and connection: local
I get the following error: Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'xen:///': <class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused
None
I guess my question now is... what is the difference between the hypervisor: QEMU/KVM and XEN. Because I seem to be able to create a VM using this. My VM is an XP vm for work purposes to run some windows only software I would like to use XEN as I just have my mind set on it but I might just be ignorant and on the wrong track is there a how to guide for fedora 11 and xen? the fedora 7 guide i found needs the kernel-xen installed.

I am trying to install matlab R2011a student edition in Fedora 15, 64 bits system. This version of matlab do not support 64 bits linux out of the box, but can be installed by adding -glnx86 as an argumenof the installing script.
However after running the installation script I receive the following error message:

What changes have been made in Mesa/3d drivers + xorg from 9.10 to 10.04 ? I tried now on 10.10, and the same bug remains.
On my laptop, 3d doesn't work correctly anymore... OpenArena & UrbanTerror crash Xorg.
I needed to download the OpenArena source from openarena.ws (the apt-get source repository's version doesn't compile btw., apt-get build-dep I did) and needed to compile OpenArena myself, until it halfway worked... (still, the mouse blocks when one tries to move position (keyboard) and view (mouse) simultaniously).
This has now been simultaniously on 2 laptops, so it's not a hardware failure, and it's not an OpenArena bug, because it worked before from the same source.

I have this below from a mesa git 20101002, and from the 7.9_rc2 tarball.
Code:
It isn't the only error. I get one about trying to make before make depend, but if I hit up arrow and return, it's gone. This one is persistent.
The issues on configure were libtalloc and libdrm. I have the libdrm .pc files copied from another box in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. talloc I just made, giving it the samba version number. configure passes with no variables passed to it. I am not passing /usr/include to this at any time. It doesn't show in the Makefile afaict.

I successfully installed Mesa with "yum install Mesa*" and downloaded MesaDemos-7.8.tar.gz archive. Now I try follow instructions from "Mesa3d.org -> Download / Insall -> Compiling and Installing -> 1.5 Running the demos", but in progs/demos there is only *.c files, when I try to compile them, I get many similar errors like:
In beggining of the file there are all necessary #includes:
So I have some questions:
Is there some Mesa forum on the web?
Is there some compiled demos?
Is there some site with well described examples of Mesa using?
What I need for compile those examples?
I have CentOS 5

I'm using Slackware 13.1, just messing around with some stuff before I upgrade to 13.37. I really want to get a decent build of Desmume working, but the 3D engine for it requires OSMesa to be enabled. I've removed the initial Mesa package that I installed from the Slackware DVD and I'm trying to recompile mesa-7.8.1 so that OSMesa is available for the system. However, I keep running into problems.
Code:
./configure --enable-gl-osmesa
When I run those options for the configure command and compile it, Mesa builds alright and gives me a working libGL just fine. It also gives me libOSMesa. Yet, when I compile Desmume to specifically use OSMesa, its configure script says that it can't find OSMesa at all. But running ldconfig -p, the output shows libOSMesa.so in /usr/lib. The symlink is up to date too, and I've recreated it several times.
Code:
./configure --with-driver=osmesa
When I build Mesa using these configure options, I don't get libGL (well, that's expected, the manual says as much will happen). But apparently libOSMesa is installed just fine. When I went to compile Desmume, no gripes about OSMesa, but Desmume needs both libGL and OSMesa to work properly.
So my question is, how can I install Mesa so that I have OpenGL and OSMesa working together? I've been able to get one working, but not both. I don't know how to get OpenGL on Slackware without using the Mesa package, but the package isn't cooperating. I'm on Intel graphics too.

I am compiling mesa and it compiles ok but I think it it compiles to the usr/local/lib but I want to replace the system version as I want applications to use my compiled version instead.
How do I do this?

I downloaded mesa from their git repository a few days ago then built it and installed it. I've tried removing it just now with "make uninstall", but that feature isn't in the makefile. How I can remove it?

So I just downloaded Ubuntu to be put on my other partition(I have a C: and a D: drive) So stupid me had a brain fart and ended up not making a new partition and putting Ubuntu on the D: drive which was 3/4 of my total hard drive. So now I have 120 GB for Windows and 350 GB for Ubuntu. So I went to Gparter on Ubuntu and tried to open it and it had an error before it even opened. And when I first went in to Ubuntu it had like 2 things pop up with errors. So I went back to Windows 7 and tried to use the partitioner there and it wouldn't let me expand my C: drive. What am I supposed to do?

VirtualBox 4.3.14
Windows 7
Debian 7.6
I'm trying to create a new VM with Debian 7.6. I downloaded the 3 install iso discs and tried to install. When I begin the installation it seems to take control of the CDROM and I am no longer able to eject it by either pressing the eject button or trying to eject through Windows. The installation goes fine until it asks if I have any other discs to install (which I do ... I have 2 more). At this point I say "Yes" but I cannot get the CDROM to open up at all since it doesn't automatically eject for another disc and as I mentioned before ... I can't do it manually or in Windows.
- I cannot do an installation over the internet because this is a government computer which is requires to be hooked to a government network. There are certain certificates required to access the network which are not available to my newly made (or in the process of making) Linux system but rather only to my host Windows system.
- I cannot use a newer version of VirtualBox because that opens up a whole new set of issues dealing with WinVerifyTrust getting CERT_E_REVOCATION_FAILURE most likely due to our symantec security software.
So my Storage Settings in VirtualBox are as follows for my CDROM drive:
- Controller: IDE Controller
- Type: PIIX4
- "Use Host I/O Cache" is checked
- Host Drive D:
- CD/DVD Drive: IDE Secondary Master
- "Passthrough" is checked
I cannot install the Debian 7.6 OS because I cannot eject each disc and put in the next disc. The only way I can eject the disc is if I reboot my entire system (host windows system) which obviously leaves me at an unfinished point in my install and therefore I have to restart the install and end up right where I was 30 minutes earlier.
