OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.

OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 7.0.1

"mesa" = the non-ATI built-in driver. The driver isn't installed properly.

That the exact same card I have, and I gave up trying to get the proper driver. If you actually get it working, let me know!

It appears somebody does have OpenGL running with the 9200

I need libGL.so.1.2 but i cant find it anywhere for download!


EDIT
I found the lib

wget http://www.ground-impact.com/libGL.so.1.2

Okay maybe you guys know what my problem is. My video card is an ATI Radeon 9200, i got a wild hair up my ass and decided it was time for me to attempt installing the Proprietary ATI drivers... So all runs well untill the restart. My Compiz is down and OpenGL is as well here is all the information...

Im lost  ??? ??? ??? ???

That would be awesome, have AIM, MSN, or Yahoo?

Gnome + Compiz + Emerald = God

Only if you're concerned with making things as pretty as possible. :)

I like pretty things :)

Not to insult you or anything, but if you had to ask that chances are you probably can't do it. :P

lol your probably right, but im always up to learning. I just started with linux myself about 4 months ago. and im a complete java noob so... 

Sudo make me a sandwich...


Tried it on my gf and it didnt work. :(

now im sad.

Most people here who find those jokes funny read xkcd. ;)

xkcd = great way to waste away time :)

lol

That would be nice, How do you think i would go about doing that?

Have you tried using KonvenientSUSE to install it, could make it easier on you. Not sure how it works but its suppose to be an Automatix clone for Suse as far as i know. May give it a try.

PS: I couldnt get BNUbot to find the dependencies correctly in my ubuntu, i had to use JavaOp.

I've got a spare box that I'm going to play around with.  I don't have a real goal with it right now other than to experiment, since I've only had experience with Slackware and Fedora (and about a week of Gentoo, which failed miserably).  Eventually I might want to get a couple giant HDs and make a fileserver, though I've had negative amounts of luck getting any kind of Linux working with my network (it can connect, but can't see/share with my Windows boxes).  I was thinking about trying BSD since nslay seems to have nothing but love for it.  Any other suggestions that aren't (K|X)Ubuntu?

You can try Mandriva. I used it but then migrated to Ubuntu.
