Panda doesn't work.. display:x11display(error).. help?

Installation
1

Hi everyone,

I just installed Panda3D on my Archlinux system. Everything went smooth during the install.

I now downloaded the examples and tried using some of them… unfortunately, looks like there are some problems… if I run one example I get:

[fabio@gamma Media-Player]$ python2 Tut-Media-Player.py 2>&1 | more
DirectStart: Starting the game.

[/code]

And I only see a black window. What should I do?

Thanks,

Are you sure you’ve installed graphics drivers for your hardware? You’re not running over a remote session, are you?

I should have.

glxinfo sprunge.us/WgfP

[fabio@gamma soya]$ glxheads
glxheads: exercise multiple GLX connections (any key = exit)
Usage:
glxheads xdisplayname …
Example:
glxheads :0 mars:0 venus:1
Name: :0
Display: 0x16c0010
Window: 0x6400002
Context: 0x16cf400
GL_VERSION: 2.1 Mesa 7.10.2
GL_VENDOR: X.Org R300 Project
GL_RENDERER: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV530

Let me know how to better verify…

both glxhead and glxgears run fine. I’m also using Soya3D without problems.

Do all of the examples fail in this way, or only some of them? The error message about swscaler appears to be an ffmpeg-related issue, and most of the samples don’t use ffmpeg. However, the BadDrawable error is something different, but maybe it’s triggered by the ffmpeg issue?

It doesn’t look so. All the examples fails the same way. See below.

Could you try installing different or newer drivers for your video card?

I’m running an updated version of Archlinux… this means that I’m already using the most updated stable version of my drivers.

My xorg.conf looks like sprunge.us/iZbN
