Description Charles R. Tersteeg 2001-05-01 21:03:30 UTC

the resulting line after typing /usr/X11R6/bin/glxinfo

gd error (glide): gd error (glide): grSstSelect: non-existent SSTgd error
(glide): grSstSelect: non-existent SSTSegmentation fault (core dumped)

i found this page for reference:
http://www.linux.sarang.net/ftp/pub/mirror/xwindow/XFree86/4.0.2/doc/HTML/DRI10.html

am i missing something to enable opengl on a workstation installation of rh7.1?

I have tried the default X-server XFree86-4.0.3-5 and the latest rawhide
XFree86-4.0.3-10

Reproduceable everytime:
1. type /usr/X11R6/bin/glxinfo
2. type tribes2
3. type tuxracer

all three produce same error over and over

Actual results:

gd error (glide): gd error (glide): grSstSelect: non-existent SSTgd error
(glide): grSstSelect: non-existent SSTSegmentation fault (core dumped)

and a core file

Expected Results:
the opengl game/app would run

Additional Info:
CPU PIII(x2) 933
running SMP kernel
512MB RAM
6GB HD on /
20GB HD on /home
3DFX Voodoo 5500
Sound Blaster Live!
3 button USB Mouse - BoomSlang2000
Haupauge PCI - TV/Radio Tuner
Serial PCI - 2 serial and 1 parallel
Standard setup - Ximain Gnome 1.4 also installed but should not affect this.

Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2001-05-02 21:05:36 UTC

Workaround:
cd /usr/lib
rm libglide3-so.3.10.0
ln -s libglide3-so.3.10.0 glide/libglide3-v5.so

You *must* use 16 bit depth to do 3D, and if you have problems, lower your
resolution down.

Comment 2 Charles R. Tersteeg 2001-05-03 05:18:19 UTC

Thanks for the workaround.  The games run but no video to screen, i blindly exit
the game.  Sounds nice but can see.

before workaround:
[root@moon-wolf lib]# ls libglide3.so* -l
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 May  1 17:09 libglide3.so ->
libglide3.so.3.10.0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 May  1 17:09 libglide3.so.3 ->
libglide3.so.3.10.0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           22 May  1 17:09 libglide3.so.3.10.0 ->
glide3/libglide3-v3.so

what i did:
[root@moon-wolf lib]# rm libglide3.so.3.10.0 
rm: remove ?libglide3.so.3.10.0?? y
[root@moon-wolf lib]# ln -s glide3/libglide3-v5.so libglide3.so.3.10.0

what it is now:
[root@moon-wolf lib]# ls libglide3.so* -l
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 May  1 17:09 libglide3.so ->
libglide3.so.3.10.0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 May  1 17:09 libglide3.so.3 ->
libglide3.so.3.10.0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           22 May  3 00:12 libglide3.so.3.10.0 ->
glide3/libglide3-v5.so

I tried it in 1600x1200 and 640x480 with the same results.  please advise. 
thanks for the quick help.

Comment 3 Charles R. Tersteeg 2001-05-03 05:19:46 UTC

note:  i'm using XfFree86-4.0.3-5 should i be using latest rawhide for
workaround? XFree86-4.0.3-10?

Comment 4 Charles R. Tersteeg 2001-05-04 04:33:56 UTC

I looked at bug #38869 and it is the same as this one.  I also tried the file
from dri, and tuxracer now works but I still get a black screen with tribes2. 
Any suggestions?
