Blockout stopped working: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL

English Games
1

I tried to run blockout today, but the game didn’t start. I played it few weeks ago without a problem.

This is the error I get:

SDL_SetVideoMode() failed : X11 driver not configured with OpenGL

I installed blockout via zypper from the games repository.

What should I do to be able to start the game again?:’(

As a wild guess I think it’s a bug in the package. Please contact the package maintainer from the games repository for this package.
I think you can use the “Report bug link” on this page :
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/games:tools
but some people on this forums know how to find maintainers for specific packages. Maybe they will give you more accurate instructions.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Hi
I see it was having some build issues, but appears to have rebuilt now. Check to see if it’s updated in the games repo.

Yes, zypper up installed updates for both blockout and libSDL and the game works again.
