How to get 3D working on openSUSE 11.1, PPC, iMac

English Hardware

Title says my question, really.
I am running openSUSE 11.1 PPC on a iMac
I have gotten 2D with both r128 and ati drivers, but glxgears gives this when I try to test.

glxgears: Error: couldn’t get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.

I really want 3D for Blender, the opensource moddeling and animation suite.

When I try to run it, I get this message:

Compiled with Python version 2.6.
Checking for installed Python… got it!
intern/ghost/intern/GHOST_WindowX11.cpp:180: X11 glxChooseVisual() failed for OpenGL, verify working openGL system!
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
Resource id in failed request: 0x9
Serial number of failed request: 19
Current serial number in output stream: 20

Any sugjestions?

My xorg.conf <http://pasteall.org/3785> //still shows r128 driver, though original is ati

my card, as idinified by xorg.conf

Section “Device”
BoardName “Rage 128 Pro TR (AGP)”
Driver “ati”
Identifier “Device[0]”
VendorName “ATI”
EndSection

change in your xorg.conf the driver from r128 to ati - and don’t run sax afterwards anymore! or run sax and change driver manually from r128 to ati. Make sure that “enable 3d acceleration” box is ticked!

the r128 driver doesn’t support any 3D, ati driver should.

But beware that this is a very, very, very, very, very old GPU. Why don’t you just buy a new PC with decent GPU so that working with Blender is fun again?
