(another...) vdrift doesn't open

[mendi]

I've just compiled and installed the last version.
When executing /usr/local/bin/vdrift I get:


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I've looked for this error code on other topics but didn't find anything so...
¿Can anyone help me, or show me a similar topic?
Thanks.

Hi mendi,
looks like a x-server error, maybe a gpu driver problem?
Have you tried to run another opengl application?

¿another opengl application?
mmm..

At this point I have to say that I am a beginner on Linux
If you don't mind explaining how to try that?

Thanks

Another opengl application => another 3d game

Havent used Linux for some time. But lets try.

Which linux distribution are you using(Ubuntu 9, Fedora 12, ...)?

Your gpu is?

Code:

lspci | grep VGA
