SOLVED!
But I like 2.6.35.7... ;-) After some messing around with 8.0.4 drivers (Xorg wouldn't load) it turned out all I needed was the relevant libGL file from libgl1-mesa-glx_7.7.1-6_i386.deb: I put that in /usr/X11R7/lib and now the performance is as good as in Precise Puppy or XP, so I'm very happy. Str...

Re: glxinfo reports hardware renderer, Oolite log says softw
Just out of interest I tried Oolite in Precise Puppy 5.7.1 on the same laptop. Worked fine straight out of the box: good performance at high resolution, nebulae on, shader will go to 'simple'. glxinfo shows: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa...

Re: glxinfo reports hardware renderer, Oolite log says softw
ac2013, any luck finding more recent drivers? Sadly no, not yet. I have read that Intel GMA adapters can be a real pain with OpenGL in Linux. I don't know if I need to compile a new kernel module for the adapter, install a new library, upgrade Xorg, somehow get a newer Mesa running (anything past 7...

Re: glxinfo reports hardware renderer, Oolite log says softw
the nebulae in particular seem to slow things down dramatically on this machine. You could zero the nebula_count_multiplier , found in the planetinfo.plist - that might help. Thanks, I'll look into that. With detail set to low the nebulae don't show at all so it's not a performance issue, but they ...

Re: glxinfo reports hardware renderer, Oolite log says softw
Are there any hidden "really set detail to low, everywhere" settings that might help? Not really - "reduced detail" and shaders off is about all there is. Of the hidden graphics settings , you might have some luck bringing the max-texture-size setting lower than your graphics ca...

Re: glxinfo reports hardware renderer, Oolite log says softw
Lovely stuff, that's got it running. If I set detail to low I can play with reasonable frame rates (the nebulae in particular seem to slow things down dramatically on this machine). One question re the difference between the 1.75.1 and 1.77.1 versions I have. Both now run, and I'd prefer to use the ...

[Solved] glxinfo reports h/w renderer, Oolite log says s/w
Running an older variant of Puppy Linux and trying to get Oolite to run. I know this laptop will support it in Linux, as previously I've had Oolite 1.75 running on here and it was only a shade slower than in Windows XP. I think that was with Puppy 5.25. I could revert to that one, but for various qu...
