Please help - Ogre3D no luck with Linux

[Fred]

Did you put 'opengl' in the "subsystem" field on the compiler option ?

I had the same problem on my Ubuntu 9.10 installation (, with opengl subsystem compiler option activated and engine3d.so copied to /usr/lib/).

If it still doesn't work on your system, try looking for a package called libxxf86vm-dev and install it, it solved my problem with initializing the 3D screen in windowed mode, but still not in fullscreen mode.

Terminal command:
sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm-dev

on some linux's there is a 3d desktop option.. I've found that trying to run AN Y 3d game while that feature is active on the desktop that the programs won't run.. I've always had to turn off the 3d desktop feature and then the games ran fine ( so i'm assuming that its a sharing issue between the desktops addon/plugin and the other software.. ie: the desktop 3d stuff isn't sharing)
