Title: OA and ZenWalk 5.0 Upgrade
Post by: gratefulgroover on March 04, 2008, 10:03:29 PM
I am having a bit of problem whenever I installed Zenwalk 5.0 on my system. Although OA worked fine before, anytime I try to run it Zenwalk logs me off the OS completely. I can still run it in wine, although it is kind of skippy, but not unbearable.  I have tried reinstalling an upradedng it live about five times, and it still won't work. Any suggestions or even just a related experience?

Maybe OpenGL is not set up with your system.
See that with :
Code:
glxinfo | grep direct
If direct rendering is set to Yes, then there should be no problem.
If set to no, try re-installing the drivers of your graphic card.

You can also try other opengl programs, such as :
Code:
glxgears
and see your framerate.

Could you run it in the terminal, and log the output?

It could be a problem with Zenwalk itself, I'd suggest posting a bug report on their site.

Don't forget to try other opengl apps.
Even if not probable, you may also check the resolution in which OA starts, maybe it uses one not supported by your hardware.
