Blank screen

Post by milo »

Hello,

I don't get any error messages but the screen stays blank. I do hear engine noise and I can even crash... Very easy because I don't see anything...

Anybody any idea on how to solve this?

- Heli-X demo 1.1
- Linux Gentoo
- Nvidia video card
- disable VBO (otherwise I do get this error "no OpenGL buffer object appears to be bound to target")

Thanks, Milo

Hi,

did you use actual nvidia drivers?
The nvidia drivers are not open source and so I think they will not be included in your dristribution by default....
Take a look at: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Gentoo actually does include the propriatary drivers. I'm using version 180.51... The newest available.

I also tries to start the application through a VNC remote session. It did not help, it did also only show a blank screen and loading a flight did actually work including sounds.

Problem was that I selected the xorg-x11 drivers instead of nvidia. "eselect opengl set nvidia".

It now works again.
