Hmm... ,---- | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show libgl1-mesa-swx11 | [...] | Description: A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- runtime | Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to | that of OpenGL. To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command | syntax or state machine, it is being used with authorization from | Silicon Graphics, Inc. However, the author makes no claim that Mesa | is in any way a compatible replacement for OpenGL or associated with | Silicon Graphics, Inc. | . | This library provides a pure software rasteriser; it does not provide | a direct rendering-capable library, or one which uses GLX. For that, | please see libgl1-mesa-glx. | . | On Linux, this library is also known as libGL or libGL.so.1. `---- I'd say: Yes, you'll need it. Your card cannot support direct rendering, so you need a library that does in software what your card can't do in hardware. But that's only a guess based on the packet description. How about running some simple OpenGL apps, like glxgears from mesa-utils package? Does this software work or do you get an error there as well? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
