Actually mesa is opengl using the software renderer

With all respect sir/madam, You have no idea what Mesa3D is, if You claim it does not support OpenGL... Please read more about this popular open-source project on http://www.mesa3d.org . Latest Mesa3D supports OpenGL 2.1.

@Froste Mesa3D also has hardware acceleration for numerous graphics cards. (From mesa3d.org: The DRI hardware drivers for the X.org server and XFree86 provide hardware accelerated rendering for chips from ATI, Intel, Matrox, 3dfx and others on Linux and FreeBSD.)

[Froste]

Of course it has hardware acceleration too. I thought this was implied.

You need mesa 6.5.3 to play.Ubuntu, for example, have mesa3d 6.5.2.

Regards!

glxinfo | grep rendering

in your terminal and you wil see if there is 3D support.

Yes you will need to install the latest ATI drivers, and 8.37 is working for the latest Kernel update.

Guys... there is NO need for proprietary ATI driver if you have Mesa3D because, as we said in previous posts, Mesa3D offers ACCELERATED (HARDWARE) GRAPHICS (OPENGL) !!!!!

For those who after all we said recommended to execute "glxinfo | grep rendering":

 [root@mrak ~]# glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

Furthermore:

[root@mrak ~]# glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 6.5.2
OpenGL extensions:

With ALL DUE respect, please stop talking about Mesa if you did not try it, or have no clue what it is, or have just heard about it.

For those who know what I am talking about: Could it be that this problem occurs because installer needs some specific VISUAL which is perhaps not supported here?

With Mesa3D 6.5.3 you can play Regnum online. I play with it.

Sorry for repeat me.

Thanks guys for some usefull information - I'll just download Mesa3D 7.0 and build it here until RPMs come.

Kind regards!
