[gentoo-user] OpenGL Server Error

[gentoo-user] OpenGL Server Error

[AJ Spagnoletti]

I have just finished emerging k3d and I am getting an error when I try
to run the program.
When I try to run the program I get the following error.

"ERROR: Could not connect to an OpenGL Server. Shutting down"

After some googling I am left clueless on how to fix this error. Can
anyone point me in the right direction for my search or offer some
help on how to fix this? Thanks.

Why would a CD burning program ask for OpenGL?

Obvious question first; what video card, and what drivers? Is there an
OpenGL (3D hardware acceleration) server available at all?

Meaning, do the drivers for your video card provide OpenGL?

Sorry, bad mistake.
To make it up:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Ati if you own ATI card

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml if you have a Nvidia card

I have an Nvidia card and old gf2 that the nvidia site says supports
OpenGL but thanks for pointing out the obvious I never loaded the
Nvidia driver or the glx libraries. When following the link that
Raphael sent me for the Nvidia cards I ran into an error loading the
Nvidia module in X however. Thanks for the help with this problem now
onto the next :-)
