1263.0. "OpenGL support on 3STrio63 (Powerstation 3D10) ?" by BACHUS::RENTY () Mon Mar 17 1997 12:15
A customer is trying to start an OpenGL application on the following
configuration :
AlphaStation 255
OSF 4.0a
Open3D 4.1
S3Trio64 (=Powerstation 3D10) 2MB
VRC21
When running the example /usr/examples/GL/examples/xfont, he got an error
message "Signal frequency is out of range"
I asked him to try to change the Vsync by adding the options
-screen [resolution] -vsync [60 70 or 72]
in the file /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers, but this didn't change anything.
After this, I asked him to change the file /usr/var/X11/Xserver.conf, as
documented in the Open3D V4.2 release notes :
>> 1.4.2.3 Using OpenGL with PowerStorm 3D10
>>
>> In order to use OpenGL with the PowerStorm 3D10, a software-
>> only version of the OpenGL server extension must be loaded.
>> By default, Digital Open3D installations modify Xserver.conf
>> to load the hardware-accelerated OpenGL software (as shown
>> above). Since only one version of this extension software can
>> be loaded at one time, the Xserver.conf file must be modified
>> before running OpenGL with the PowerStorm 3D10. Edit the file
>> to include the following line in the Digital Open3D extensions
>> clause:
>>
>> < _dec_sampleGL lib_dec_sampleGL.so __glXExtensionInit S3TRIO >
>>
>> In the case of an existing entry in the Digital Open3D exten-
>> sions clause section (for example, the ZLXp-E1), two edits must
>> be made to the Xserver.conf file. The first edit is to delete
>> the following line from the Digital Open3D extensions clause:
>>
>> < _dec_opengl lib_dec_opengl.so GLExtensionInit p00041011 >
>>
>> The second edit is to add the following line to the Digital
>> Open3D extensions clause:
>>
>> < _dec_sampleGL lib_dec_sampleGL.so __glXExtensionInit p00041011 >
>>
When running the same example program, the customer now receives another error
"Window type not found". As far as I understand, this means it could't
find the right visual ?
I asked the customer to send me more information about the products he
installed on the system,together with the xdpyinfo and xglinfo output.
This is an extract from his fax (if you need more,I'll add it later):
I copied this from his fax, so don't shoot me for typing errors...

Error:could not find visual for OpenGL ???
============ 1 Visuals for Screen0 (default=0x21)=================
PseudeColor visual:ID=0x21 (hex) 33 (decimal) screen=0
DOUBLE buffered MONO COLOR INDEX visual with (Z Stencil)
GL Sizes: Colorindex=8, Z=32, Stencil=8
Core X: depth=8, colormapsize=256
Hence my (or the customer's) questions :
1. Concerning the error "Window type not found", am I right that the customer
hasn't the right (or not enough) visuals to run the example ?
2. To be able to run the example, is there a software solution, like
- lowering the resolution
- installing another product (OSFSER3D405,OSFSER405,OSFSERPC405... ?)
- change the configuration, rebuild the kernel or whatsoever
Or should he buy another graphics card ?
3. According to the OPEN3D SPD, OpenGL is supported on the 3dtrio64 card,
why then do we see "could not find visual for OpenGL". Are there some
limitations to this support ?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Bart

| re .-1 :
Some typos in my previous reply :
- with "Powerstation 3D10" i meant of course "PowerStorm 3D10"
- the Open#D Freedom 3000 option was NOT installed, so that we got :

| I took an S3Trio64 card temporary from the stock to put in my system,
after which I could reproduce the problem ("Window type not found").
After removing the AUX_RGB parameter from the auxInitDisplayMode
function, I could run the program without problems.
I concluded that the error was caused because the S3Trio64 card hasn't
any RGB visual.
