That message is not being printed by the hacks; it's coming from deep in the bowels of libGL. I don't even know how to detect that. Or, for that matter, what it's complaining about in the first place (as it ought to just silently fall back to software rendering, which in all honestly is plenty fast enough in 99% of the cases on any modern CPU even without graphics hardware support.) Every modern system supports GL. Just fix yours already. > My ~/.xscreensaver has "GL:" in front of many (all?) of the GL hacks, > so AFAICT XScreensaver should be able to tell what hacks need GL and > should be disabled. Yes, it knows which ones require GL. No, it doesn't know whether your machine is broken. If GL doesn't work on your machine, un-check the GL hacks. If you think some hack is too slow on your machine, un-check it. If you think some hack is ugly, un-check it. -- Jamie Zawinski [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jwz.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dnalounge.com/ http://jwz.livejournal.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
