glxinfo not responding

Hi,

Firstly, I’ll apologize in advance I don’t know how to project the information to give any clues on what’s happening. If anyone could lend me a hand in figuring out square one on fixing this it would be greatly appreciated.

What I have done is checked to see if all the mesa lib’s are installed, i just loaded up the flgrx driver and it’s working.

I know this information isn’t enough at all but I don’t know where to start

HELP

OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.

Well, I think the message is clear, isn’t it?

[main] Error: glxinfo is not installed. Please install mesa-utils package

You don’t have glxinfo installed.

The package is called “Mesa-demo-x” on openSUSE, so install that with YaST or zypper.

I really appreciate the help, as that did fix the problem. However, I admit I have plenty to learn about how linux and more in general Suse works.

TBH, I don’t think you really had a problem.

Apparently the application uses glxinfo to check whether direct rendering works, and because it couldn’t run glxinfo, it assumed it does not work and printed a warning.

As the name implies, glxinfo only prints out some information about the available OpenGL/GLX support.
Not having glxinfo installed doesn’t change anything regarding OpenGL/GLX though.
But of course it’s nicer to not get such warning messages… :wink:

Yeah, it was a bit strange as I did have all of the files I thought. glxinfo was tripping up playonlinux and steam saying i didn’t have 32 bit OpenGL drivers installed. I was thinking I majorly messed something up with my flgrx install. Turns out everything is ok, that’s why I was sweating the problem so hard. Anyway, glad everything is ok and once again thanks.
