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 attachment 64723 [details, diff] 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
