wrong with America's ARMY game

gexiaofei · 08-12-2003, 05:34 PM

I have just now install the game "America's Army'. And when I finished it I started the game. But it showed me in the terminal things as follow:

[root@xiaofei root]# armyops
Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

History:

Exiting due to error
[root@xiaofei root]#

------------------------

What does Couldn't find matching GLX visual mean?

thanks.

try running: glxgears or tuxracer or something 3D.

That looks like your openGL isnt set up.

Do you have an Nvidia card? Do you have the official drivers?

I have installed nVidia driver just now. But I dont know how to check whether it works fine. And the game still refuses to work.

after installing the driver did u modify /etc/X11/XF86Config and then restart X?

No. I just installed the driver. I dont know how to modify the file.
What should I do?

Read the nvidia README at the site.
