I forgot that I could send it plaintext! Also I didn’t know until now
that it made a difference. Here’s my last message again.
Well OpenGL still won’t work, but those drivers helped. It still says
"Couldn’t set GL mode:", but now I have some more info.
First of all, I’ve got a nVidia Vanta. Also, Tribes 2 works in windows
on my machine, so OpenGL will work on my machine.
There were a ton of extra libraries missing from my distribution, like
the DirectFB and DNET ones (The test programs wouldn’t configure
without the last one). Last time I mailed, they had mysteriously all
compiled, but when I did make clean and then re-installed the tests
just wouldn’t recompile. They kept complaining about SDL 1.2.3 not
being installed. But now it’s just peachy.
The nVidia drivers really helped X and the SDL games that do work,
they don’t skip as much and X is clearer.
I’m also having some other problems with SDL. testgamma doesn’t work
and says “Unable to set gamma:Gamma ramp manipulation not supported”.
Even worse is the mouse, whenever I move it in ZSNES or the test
programs it jumps to the upper-right hand corner and only comes out
shortly if I move the mouse violently.
Thanks for your replies so far. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.
Also, I’m sorta a newbie, how do I setup an E-mail account in Linux?
I can send but can’t recieve. Thanks.
