How celestia selects OpenGL driver in Linux?

Post #1by dikov » 03.06.2005, 18:18

Hi there!
I have installed Celestia rpm's on my Linux box.
The gtreatest program I ever saw! Thaks a lot!

The problem appeared is that the Celestia does not use my Nvidia drivers but uses Mesa instead.
Where it searches for video driver PATH and how I can tell to celestia to use nvidia driver?

Have you run opengl-update nvidia as root? What does running glxinfo show?

Thanks a lot,
I have fixed it.
It was a problem in proper linking of GLlibs in /usr/X11/lib directory.
