America's Army Error Message

[FelixDzerzhinsky]

When I run America's Army I get this message????:

~$ armyops
Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
GL_EXT_bgra not supported - bailing out.


What's it all about?

--I googled for your Xlib err message and found this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/69651

--Basically you should try altering your color depth ( man Xfree86 ) ' startx -- -depth 16 ' and then run armyops. If all you're doing is running the game, you should consider running something other than KDE, such as icewm - a more lightweight window manager that uses much less system resources. ' xinit /usr/bin/icewm -depth 16 ' should work.

--You should check /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and look for ' DefaultColorDepth '. You can change the default permanently if you want. Check the armyops documentation and see what kind of color requirements it needs.

--If this doesn't work, you need to post what kind of video card you have and download the latest Linux drivers for it (I have nvidia myself, recommended.)
