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,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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 trying to build more packages these days than in years before, it seems, but somehow I manage to run into trouble quite often. This time I want to install Truecrypt 6.3a on my system. According to the description there are two dependencies, one of them being wxGTK.Ok, downloaded wxGTK and tried to build it both with sbopkg and on the CLI just by executing the SBo script. But:

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 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?
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.

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
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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).

How do I do this?
i have been messing with my mesa opengl drivers and ati proprietary drivers for a while now. i cannot get them to work smootly for games (urban terror, nexuiz, WoW)i am currently on mesa experimental 7.9 i know that 7.8 with FC13 worked and there is 7.10 in rawhide right now.Problem is,n't know how to revert back to 7.8 or install 7.10 from rawhideshould be a simple answer from someone that knows

I hadn't upgraded my multimedia Squeeze box in a month, so I ran a "apt-get dist-upgrade"; I think henceforth I'll stick to "apt-get upgrade" most of the time. Anywho, I got to the point that restarting PAM required me to restart KDM (I haven't seen that snafu on Ubuntu, it seems like there ought to be a way to upgrade without restarting X and running "dpkg --configure -a" and then continuing the upgrade). Anyway, after restarting my dist-upgrade I got part way through and got an error message. The gist of it seems to be this:
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xserver-xorg-core : Recommends: libgl1-mesa-dri (>= 7.10.2-4) but 7.10.2-3 is installed
code....
So apt is wedged and it seems like I have a partial upgrade, various little things are not working in Gnome, KDE & XFCE (like icons, plasma seems to be somewhat borked). Although I'm using the radeon driver this seems to be some variant of this bug from mid June: url
I'm not having the issue with my laptop (Intel) or desktop, both testing, although both of the machines do have issues, particularly the desktop (serves me right for buying newish hardware). But this box is pretty bog-standard.01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 [Radeon HD 4290]
Maybe I should just strip off xserver-xorg* and reinstall? Or I can wait libgl1-mesa-dri sorts itself out, but it seems like it has been causing problems for over a month.
Is it normal that the free Mesa driver is alot faster than the ATI propietary driver?, at least for desktop usage. That is, using both latest drivers, 9.11 and 7.7
