determine glx visual info? could there be any lib missing or something?
More info is needed. What doesn’t work exactly. Error messages?–

I wished I knew it myself! All I know is that it cannot determine glx visual info
since this is all it outputs. It returns this error when calling the SDL_Init

Oh, heh. I know what the problem is. testgl is looking for a 16-bit visual
and you don’t have one. Set your X server to 16 bpp, which is the best for
games anyway. 
See ya!

I had that problem on an 24-bit SGI indy. The problem in my case was
that SDL
asks for double-buffering by default, and the SGI refuses to find such a
visual.
Perhaps the same ?

Yep, you’re absolutely right! Things do work wonderfully now. No offence, but it would
be great to have things like this in the docs. This way maybe I wouldn’t have spent a
week on this problem and others would be spared to experience such things again
Thx a big lot for the help!

Hmm when I plays with SDL/GL I found SDL/GL can/t determine visual info
(with no error messages)
when I run it on lowend graphic card (there is no enough memory on board
to enable multibuffering), so i think Simon is right.–
