Video driver 'gtk' failed to initialize - Also glx 1.3
I installed a Dreamcast emulator, and the install went fine, it starts up quickly, loads it's interface ... And then the screen goes black, and I get 2 messages:

So it leads me to have 3 questions: 1.) Why can it not open display? 2.) Where can I get (preferably the most recent) glx? - EDIT: Found it on Sourceforge, Getting it now. 3.) what is EXT_framebuffer_object, A program, a command, or other? and if a command what is the proper way to use it? Well I guess that is really 4 ... Anyways, any light that could be shed would be a great help. Thank you for any and all responses. :) |
glx is part if your OpenGL video drivers, and EXT_framebuffer_object is a GLX extension. You should not be installing glx from sourceforge. The proper video card drivers for your video card either support glx 1.3 or they don't. The real thing to check is if you are using the proper drivers. What video card do you have? What's the output of 'glxinfo'?

Here's this:
Code:
root@Lifebook:~# glxinfo Code:
root@Lifebook:~# lspci EDIT: A quick search of the web yielded this: Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family supports hardware acceleration of OpenGL* applications in 16-bit and 32-bit color depths. OpenGL* 1.4 plus extensions is the latest version currently supported by the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Drivers. |

Whoops ... My fault. So here it is:

Well, you are definitely using the correct drivers. My only concern would be how old they are. Mesa 7.0.4 is nearly three years old. I'd guess your version of Xorg is also about as old. Dreamlinux itself is over two years old.
I would highly recommend using a more up-to-date distribution. Adam |
I will give you that fact my version is old ... But, what I am trying to run was released a few months before my version of Dreamlinux, So I would assume (which I hear is a bad habit) that everything should be peachy. Yet it is not. It is quite the opposite. it is very ... well ... Not peachy.
I will however take your advice, and borrow my friends ubuntu disc and see how I like that. I thank you for the help you took the time to give. And I learned some new commands! |

Yup your right:
