Moin,

after trying to get SDL_perl and OpenGL working on a particular stubborn
system I am at the point at giving up.

I compiled/installed XFree 4.3.0 (300 MB untarred source - OUCH!)
successfully. I also installed NVIDIAs newest drivers and had success
(after a few headaches of course). After fixing a few destroyed system
files (early XFree starts resulted in deadlocks) and struggling with the
Xfree config file (odd monitor resolutions instead of what I was used to
and no accelerated X at all) I am now a happy camper.

Except that SDL and OpenGL won't work together, even though 3Ddiag says
everything is fine, SDL compiles with OpenGL (!), and SDL_perl finds SDL
and OpenGL and is happy.

However, whenever I access an SDL_perl OpenGL application I get the
same error:

        X11 driver not configured with OpenGL

I looked in the source of SDL and the error seems to be compiled in (and
ths spit out) when HAVE_OPENGL is not defined. However, when I compile SDL,
configure says OpenGL is there (--enable-opengl-video is the default, and
specifying it for ./configure does not help). So, something is still wrong
and I am battering my head against the table...

Does anybody have an idea or advice?

Best wishes,

Tels
