Hi,
I am trying to run an OpenGL application using SDL 1.2.11 on OpenSUSE 10.1 64
bit, but SDL fails to set any reasonable video mode on my system (like
640x480x32 windowed/fullscreen, or 1152x768x24 (X11 setting)).
I have a Radeon X800 XT PE installed.
The application runs fine on MS Windows, Mac OS X and 32 bit Linux.
What could be the problem?

What about other OpenGL apps under OpenSUSE ?
What says glxinfo ?

That MESA only returns OpenGL version 1.2 bothers me. 
I don’t know much but… shouldn’t you use your video card’s driver instead
of the “generic” ones?On 9/16/06, karx11erx wrote:

I have installed the latest ATI 64 bit Linux drivers, but that didn’t cure the
problem. Btw, glxgears works, but only delivers 100 fps, which seems to be too
little, given my hardware.
Hello !

When you would use the commercial ATI drivers there should
be written something like ATI Radeon x800 … or something like
that. As Mesa is only emulating OpenGL with a Software Renderer.

Except if he’s running Xgl. But I suppose you get what you deserve for
doing so

Afaik MESA can emulate OpenGL with software rendering, but will use hardware
acceleration if available.
I wouldn’t know how to make my Linux installation use the ATI drivers if it
doesn’t already - I’ve done all I could do (i.e. install the drivers from ATI’s
Linux driver page).

What could be the problem?
Hm. I just found out from the fglrx log file that the driver installer failed to
recompile the kernel (required) … so I’ll get the kernel source and will try
to reinstall.

Your glxinfo shows that you are using software mesa. Clues: no mention
of ATI in the vendor strings, lack of the extensions (ie vertex &
fragment shaders) known to be supported by ATI.
Using the ATI drivers (fglrx), glxinfo comes out like this on my box:
