The versions of Exceed and Exceed 3D must match, which may be the problem
you are seeing.  The system I tried opendx on has a Matrox Millenium G200
and just Exceed.  I will be trying Exceed 3D to see how well or poorly
opengl does on that card.  You can test Exceed 3D independently using some
of the sample clients they provide.

I have used the last commercial version on various Intergraph (now
Intense3D) cards, including the one you mentioned.   They work just fine
with Exceed 6.0 and Exceed 3D 6.0.  I've not yet tried opendx with the
machine I currently have with an Intergraph card (4100), pending delivery
of 6.2 for both.

Yeah, the font and colors have to go...

Subject:  [opendx-users] DX on NT



I have installed the latest OpenDX 4.1.1 on NT 4 following all Suhaib's
instructions. I have Exceed 3D installed. I'm not positive whether "Exceed"
and "Exceed 3D" are one and the same. When I choose "Help About Exceed"
from the task menu, I get "Exceed for Win32 Version 6.2.0.0". But when I
launch (either Exceed or OpenDX), the startup screen says "Exceed 3D V6.0".

The problem is simple: when I try to switch an Image window Rendering
Options to  "Hardware", I get an error in DX message window "ERROR: Image:
Display: Operation not implemented: GLX extension not installed".

What am I missing here? (this net and others work fine using software
rendering, by the way). Is this something we did wrong when Exceed got
installed? Or is there a hardcoded link to an Exceed 'extensions' directory
that is different on my machine than the one this version was built on?
(Suhaib: are you using Exceed 3D?) I should mention that I have this video
card in a Dell 410:  Intense 3D Pro 3410-GT; that's a couple years old, so
maybe there's a GL incompatibility (?).

Thanks! So close... (but those khaki colored modules have to go! I see the
font issue that Lloyd brought up: but I've got to find how to remap the
X-colors here: yuck!). (:-0

Nevertheless, thanks for persisting Suhaib and getting things this far. Not
having to get cygwin installed and configured made this one go a lot
easier. If anyone is having install problems, I'm suspicious about
including directory names that include space characters, so I did not
install OpenDX under "Program Files" much as I would have preferred to, but
directly under C: as Suhaib had it in the README. I also would have liked
to put this in a directory called "OpenDX 4.1.1" but resisted that urge as
well and named it "OpenDX". This made the initial startup very painless
since I didn't have to muck with the supplied bat files.
