Bugzilla Bug 100374

When trying to run trigger after doing opengl-update nvidia, I get the
following
error message:

GLEW failed to initialise: GL 1.1 and up are not supported

If I do opengl-update xorg-x11, however, I get:

GLEW initialized
Graphics: NVIDIA Corporation GeForce FX 5900XT/AGP/SSE/3DNOW!
Using OpenGL 1.2

and the game loads. Is this a gentoo issue or an upstream one?

works fine here.  You didn't provide any actual information though it's tough
to
say what the problem is.  It's probably something specific to your machine
though.

What version of the nvidia packages are you using?

BTW, can you get your joystick to work in trigger? My joystick works fine in
supertux for example, and it is detected by trigger, but it doesn't work. I see
very little info about this from upstream. If there is a workaround that I don't
know about, please let me know, and maybe we can add an einfo line.

apologies, I've found information about joystick configuration. It's in
~/.trigger/trigger.config.

Maybe add an einfo for this. There is also some video config in there as wel. As
there is no config within the game, knowing about this file is essential.

The problem appears with latest nvidia drivers (1.0.7667 here), a possible
cause
is (found on another bugreport, but I can't remember the affected opengl
program):
Nvidia has changed its opengl version to 2.0 (instead of 1.x), but the game
only
checks for the last digit (and 0<1)...

Good info.

fixed in cvs

nvidia is reported as '2.0.0' and the game compares the 2nd value to '1' without
checking the 1st value too

Created an attachment (id=64723) [details]
This patch also sets opengl 1.5 capability when seeing a 2.0 version

I came up with the same fix, I added another check so that glew is informed of
opengl >1.1 capabilities (without the second test, the game only uses 1.1
extensions).

I don't know if they ared used in-game though (the glewInit... calls are
different but after that...)

thanks, updated patch
