Hi,

I'd like to try playonlinux, but I'm having a problem.

First of all, I'm running Xubuntu 8.10 for AMD64, I have an nvidia 8800GT with two monitors using the twinview setting. I installed the video card driver (177.82) through the proprietary drivers tool in that ubuntu uses, it shows the driver is activated and in use.

I already had wine 1.10 installed before installing playonlinux this afternoon. I installed both using apt-get.

When I start playonlinux, i first see the first use setup wizard, then a popup message (red triangle) that says "You don't seem to have 3D acceleration ! We advise you install and enable it."

From this point I have canceled the setup wizard and not continued further.

After first seeing the problem I have also turned off Xfce's built-in compositor, but the problem did not change.

If more info is needed, I'll be glad to supply it.

Why isn't the software seeing my driver properly?

Thanks!

Hi
Do this in terminal window:
glxinfo | grep render

Give us the info here and we will see if we can fix it.

Hi there,

I had initially the same problem, running Kubuntu 8.10 64-bit with 3 monitors on dual 8800GTX with xinerama turned on. Found this topic, ran the glxinfo and lo and behold, mesa-utils was not installed. Installed it with apt-get, ran the command again and it sure does have 3d accel. Funny thing, PoL prob uses the same util to check if you have 3d accel. since now it works...

Thanks!

I think I'm having a similiar problem. When I run KOTOR, in the hardware test it doesn't seem to be recognizing the Nvidia 180 driver. I can only run the game in virtual 800x600 mode, and the pointer inside the game sort of flickers in and out. Here's glxinfo if it will help:
