Ok... it seems i need to repeat again Nvidia proprietary drivers were NEVER installed, AND i'm NOT using an nvidia card right now.
Original Message: After some time dealing with LinuxCNC/EMC2 i have obtained a partial success, but abandoned the project due the ammount of time it takes to make every step. Now i'm trying to get into again, and i find a new strange behavior. I have this message(log) when trying to start EMC2 with Mesa 7i43, on the same hardware it was (almost) working. The only change i have made is the video board, i can't remember the card used when it worked, but now *i'm using a sis 6326 AGP 8MB card*. I cant' get any other card unless nVidia, but i have read about nVidia's issues. Even When using a GF2 MX400 or an FX6200 (AGP both) i have this same message using both VESA or NV drivers. Original exception was: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/axis", line 3370, in <module> o = MyOpengl(widgets.preview_frame, width=400, height=300, double=1, depth=1) ........ tkinter.TclError: Togl: X server has no OpenGL GLX extension Here in pastebin http://pastebin.com/f1d94ec38 El 19/06/2009 11:43 a.m., Gary P.
