Title: Error - could not load OpenGL subsystem Post by: Hyperactiveman on June 27, 2007, 07:56:11 PM Hi @ all!
I´ m a completely new Linux user (running Xubuntu Feisty) and installed Openarena today. Unfortunately I´m not able to run it... Terminal log: Code:
Any solution advices? Seems to me to be a driver problem... My graphic card: Ati Radeon Mobility M6 nguns Title: Re: Error - could not load OpenGL subsystem Post by: dmn_clown on June 27, 2007, 09:48:41 PM you could always spend the money and purchase accelerated-X (http://www.xig.com/) (Currently the only option for you to have hardware acceleration with that GPU thanks to AMD/ATi's craptacular GNU/Linux support, this may change IF AMD releases the source to the driver's as they have promised). Aside: there is a reason why long term GNU/Linux users will always advise you to NOT buy an AMD/ATi video card and to purchase laptops that use nVidia GPU's.
Or start the game like so Code: ./ioquake3.x86 +set r_allowSoftwareGL 1 Title: Re: Error - could not load OpenGL subsystem Post by: kit89 on June 28, 2007, 01:44:46 AM You could use the fglrx drivers, nut recent version don't support older hardware.
However the ati drivers are very good and support 3D acceleration.(It works fine on the VAIO laptop I have.)

However the ati drivers are very good and support 3D acceleration.(It works fine on the VAIO laptop I have.) It has nothing to do with age, the fglrx binary blob has never supported all of the mobility GPU's. ATi had the policy of pushing driver writing off on the manufacturer and has never officially supported the mobility chipsets. If yours works, kit89 , count your blessings because you are lucky.
