My main machine is a LinuxMint 64bit w an Nvidia video card. After I select Xlyotex in the config screen.....it launches the splash and then stops.....with the following error. libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)   Major opcode of failed request:  154 (GLX)   Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext) nvidia GLX implementation is often completely incompatible with the openGL used in the Axis gremlin plotter For that reason use of nvidia cards with proprietary drivers is strongly advised against and has been for years in Linuxcnc and therefore Machinekit. nouveau is a competent driver and works with openGL. I don't know what 'resolution' you are anticipating, but Axis is written using crappy pythonTK libraries which don't look very pretty at any resolution. :-P I can get a perfectly usable rendering of Axis via X forwarding from a DEO-Nano board (ARM) onto my amd64 Debian Jessie machine with the nouveau drivers on a GeForce GT-630 card regards -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
