I have an OpenGL app that generates images by rendering into an off-screen surface. I'd like to get it running on our Linux server, but the only way (that I know of) to initialize an OpenGL context is to create an X window and pass it to glX.
This is lame since I don't need any windows - just a render buffer. Is there any way I can get an OpenGL context on this server?
I just upgraded from FC8 (32-bit) to FC11 (64-bit). In doing so, I backed up my entire World of Warcraft folder so I could try to avoid having to download and install it all over again. However, I've now reinstalled wine (64-bit now), and the nvidia drivers from the rpmfusion repos (also 64-bit), and when I try to start WoW, it says it cannot load OpenGL. I'm wondering if anyone knows what's up, and if there's a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling WoW.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm noticing that the performance for FreeNX Server under Fedora Core 14 is really bad. The screen refreshing is painfully slow. I'm thinking maybe the issue is related to the use of opengl in the X driver? how I can disable opengl entirely, so that the X server is only using 2d rendering?

View 1 Replies View RelatedNew here so please go easy. I am trying to get OpenGL running on Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit). The hardware is a Dell box with a NVidia Quadro 600 graphics card; I am also running under VMware.
I tried using "apt-get install nvidia-current", followed by "nvidia-xconfig", which told me a new xorg.conf file had been written. I then rebooted. A dialog appeared saying Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode and that it had failed to load module "nvidia" and no drivers available.
As I didn't seem to get very far this way, I tried downloading the NVidia 64 bit linux driver version 275.09.07 and ran this from the console. Firstly it told me that I do not appear to have a NVidia GPU supported by this version of the driver (yet NVidia's description of the driver says it does support this gpu). I went ahead and let it try to build the kernel module but then it failed with the message "failed to load kernel module 'nvidia.ko" I'm not clear how to proceed on this one. Has anyone else got a Quadro 600 card to work? If so, how?
I am writing a program that needs to display graphs. Right now I am using Cairo which works well except it is really slow. Drawing 1200 lines locks up my computer (i7 CPU and gtx285 graphics card). I only found examples to use Cairo with GTK DrawingArea can I use OpenGL instead or is there a way to cairo to run faster?

Do I need an additional header?
I'm trying to get a program to compile with OpenGL support and it's saying that the headers are missing. But I think (or thought!) that I already had Open GL up and running. My suspicion is that I need to install the appropriate -devel files...but I just can't seem to find them. Furthermore, I don't want to tweak my system and install proprietary Nvidia drivers if things are already working just fine.
I have a Geforce 8300 GS in a i586 32bit Dell Inspiron 530. I'm trying to compile Cinelarra and keep getting:
Quote:

Does anyone know which driver (ie: 96xx? 173xx?) I should be using for this? Where are these libraries? How can I find them and tell Cinelarra where to look?
And even more basically: How do I tell if OpenGL is working or not? Maybe I don't have them afterall..
Code:
Failed to activate desktop effects using the given options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.
Check your X configuaration.
You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the composting type. I cannot use OpenGL, hence my Compiz is useless.. I have ATI 5850s
I have openGL working fine on my system.The only problem is that when I try to run the executable file, nothing appears unless the full scene has been rendered.In fact, it appears in parts, i.e. updates after a second, then after another second etc...However, earlier, the rendering used to be continuous and I could see each pixel getting rendered in a continuous fashion.

I was trying to get a game to work (scorched 3d) but I kept getting a resolution error. So I did some looking around and found that I had to do something with xorg.conf in /usr/bin/x11 (if I remember). Well I didn't have that file, so I installed a program that had it (and for the life of me, I don't remember what it was). Long story short, I tried to run a different game (foobillard) and it wouldnt run. So I ran from terminal and got an error saying that x11 is not configured with opengl. Now I am mad cuz that was my favorite game. Is there a way to reset x11 and opengl without losing everything?

Yesterday and the days before, everything was going good, cpu usage it was causing was between 30 and 60%, now it wont go below 70%. It's always 70-99% for some reason :s i have set settings for graphics to OpenGL (they were like that before too with no problem) and it started causing high cpu usage. If i set it to Safe Mode in graphics settings it gets 100%, I never tweaked the drivers, i have a NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT, i have the opengl thingies installed along with my nvidia driver.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a 64 bit version of OpenGL for Linux. I tried driver from Nvidia, but it turned out that it required a specific graphics card, (which either I don't have, or VMware has trouble noticing that I do. I have a laptop with some Nvidia, Geforce with Cuda card.
In any case, I just need to find 64bit OpenGL for Ubuntu 10.04. I keep finding 32 bit versions, or other versions that don't apply to me.
I'm still kind of new and it's possible that I haven't been looking the most effective places. I tried google and sourceforge, but I couldn't quite find it.
If anyone knows where I can get it, or knows of a better place to look, I would be very grateful.
P.S. I also tried the package manager and the OpenGL site.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a program that accepts user input from the keyboard and a joystick and then sends out the data using the rs232 port of my system to other hardware. I need to send out about 10 bytes every 20 milliseconds. The thing is I need to also keep on reading data from the same port and display it on an opengl screen. This visualizes the hardware data coming in.
So the way I did it was by spinning everything around opengl..I setup GLUT - as follows :
/* register call back functions */
glutDisplayFunc(redraw);
glutReshapeFunc(resize);
glutIdleFunc(visualize);
glutKeyboardFunc(getkey);
glutSpecialFunc(getspecialkey);
And in the idle function visualize(). I currently do the joystick reading and rs232 packet sending and recv stuff. I also call redraw after I am done so if I have received new data above, then it gets drawn on the screen. Everything works fine except that calling redraw() from visualize() is logical in a PC simulation where the simulation state needs to be rendered on screen after a simulation step. But in my case it takes up too much time, much greater than 20 ms. So I can no longer guarantee I can send out packets through the rs232 port every 20 ms. What are my options here if I want to send out packets and visualize data at a reasonable frame rate - packets within 20 ms is more imp of course.
Is there anyone who can explain how OpenGL acceleration works on Linux and its relationship with X11? I read about modules like GLX, DRI, DRM and Gallium and I understand they are necessary to provide performance as the current structure of X11 makes it difficult to render efficiently. Is this correct?
If I use the OpenGL and EGL drivers provided by the manufacturer of hardware on X11 without any other module, should I expect, even with hardware acceleration a high CPU load? The modules GLX, DRI, DRM etc... can be used with any OpenGL implementations or only with mesa?
I'm looking for some sample C++ code that uses OpenGL on XCode 4.1 for OSX Lion. All I have found so far are GLUT and/or Objective-C samples. Has anyone come across something similar to what I'm after? I really just need something simple that allows me to open a window, or start in fullscreen.

I am now using OpenGL 3.1 and Native, any changes I should make there?
I have some serious input lag (using gamepad through USB) when using mednafen together with opengl. I am using a ATI HD3000, (built in to motherboard) and debian jessie together with FOSS drivers. If I use overlay instead, the input lag is acceptable, but not as good as it could be. I've tried all the things in the [URL]... mednafen documentation[/url] like turning off vsync, filters and whatnot but it doesn't really make any difference. There is also something about turning off "flip queue size" and Triple buffering but I have not found any way to change these settings for the FOSS driver.
I can use the overlay, but I would prefer to lower the input lag even further and use the opengl driver. I understand that there will always be *some* input lag on a HDTV but why is opengl so slow for me?
