Unable to create a suitable GLXContext in GLXContext::GLXCon

[sethanath]

Hi,

I am able to run many samples from my PC, which has Ogre 2.1 on it. However, from my laptop, which has exact the same setting of Ogre 2.1, I have the error message below.

From the post below, someone mentioned that it has something to do with the driver.

My OS on the laptop is Linux Mint 18.1
My video card is Nvidia GeForce 7000M/ nForce 610M
The driver is Nvidia 304.131

Thank you.

your laptop is an ancient piece of history...ogre 2.1 won't work as it requires the hardware(GPU) to support at least GL3.1+ or DX11
if you insist on running ogre2.1 on your laptop, you may get lucky with this new RS http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=91777
but anyway, even if it works, your laptop's GPU is so very weak....

There's no need to be so harsh

But I'm afraid he is correct. Your GPU is simply too old. You need at least DX10-class HW in order to run Ogre 2.1. Your GPU is DX9-SM3.0-class.
Furthermore that sample in particular (Compute) is even more strict as it requires DX11-class HW.

We MIGHT add very restricted/limited support for these systems if the GLES2 RenderSystem gets finished, but we're far from that point at this moment.

Thank you. I will study your libraries some more.
