I'm running LWJGL on Fedora Core 2 with a Geforce 2 MX.
Whenever I try to run any of the examples which use OpenGL, or any of my own apps, I get the message:
Quoteorg.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Could not find a matching pixel format
at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.createContext(Native Method)
at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Unknown Source)
at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Unknown Source)
at org.lwjgl.examples.spaceinvaders.Game.initialize(Unknown Source)
at org.lwjgl.examples.spaceinvaders.Game.<init>(Unknown Source)
at org.lwjgl.examples.spaceinvaders.Game.main(Unknown Source)
That's from the Space Invaders example.
It could just be because I haven't got my nVidia display drivers working properly, and all the OpenGL games I run are really slow (2 or 3 fps) but how could it stop LWJGL from working entirely?
Does anyone else get that error?
Yes, you haven't installed your drivers properly. And the message means what it says, more or less: that it can't find a suitable hardware accelerated format, in which case there's not a whole lot point in it continuing!
I suggest you grab the latest drivers from Nvidia.
Cas :)
That's the trouble - I've installed the NVIDIA drivers, trying several different versions, and they've worked fine apart from the AGP. It says the AGP is working - glxgears in pumped up from 60fps to about 200fps but that's still really low. Other than that I haven't noticed any differences.
S'alright, it works now. The problem was that OpenGL was trying to use the software (Mesa) libraries. I deleted the Mesa libraries, so now it works fine.
