OpenGL Problems

If you get such an error message:

...loading libGL.so: SDL: SDL_GL_LoadLibrary() failed! rc == (-1).
SDL_GetError() reports "Could not load OpenGL library".
failed
...loading libMesaVoodooGL.so.3.1: SDL: SDL_GL_LoadLibrary() failed! rc == (-1).
SDL_GetError() reports "Could not load OpenGL library".
failed
ASSERT: [qcommon/common.c:406] GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
 (fyi)
----- CL_Shutdown -----
-----------------------
Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

Solution

Start the game with the following parameter: +set r_gldriver libGL.so.1

In my case Enemy Territory worked fine without it, but MOHAA not!

mohaa +set r_gldriver libGL.so.1
