#1

Hi guys, am using openSuse 12.1 Gnome 3.2.1 on a pc using “Intel® G33 x86/MMX/SSE2” graphics. I installed Savage2 game and wen i try to run it, the following message…

warning: The VAD has been replaced by a hack pending a complete rewrite
Savage2 - Fatal Error: OpenGL 2.0 not available.
Segmentation fault

is there any fix that i can use to play the game. i’ve tried to search for intel drivers for my pc but nothing seems to be helping. i knw the game can work fine on the system, cause i was able to install it and play it on a friends computer the only difference being that he’s computer uses different hadware.

I’d like to thank you guys in advance, hope its ok

To find your OpenGL version, open up a terminal session and run the following command:

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL"

On my computer where I load the nVIDIA proprietary video driver I get:

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 560/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 4.2.0 NVIDIA 290.10

So I get version OpenGL version 4.2 which is the most recent I think. You can read about the versions here: OpenGL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In VirtualBox running openSUSE 12.1 I got this result:

OpenGL vendor string: Humper
OpenGL renderer string: Chromium
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Chromium 1.9

All this means is you get OpenGL from your video driver if not built-in. You are getting OpenGL from Mesa when using Intel and a built-in driver. You get OpenGL from either nVIDIA or AMD if you load their proprietary video driver as I do. See what you come up with.

Thank You,
