Linux LibGL error: failed to load driver: swrast via Gotham@debian [Solved]
#1
Latest Gotham via git, compile (again) from source
./configure with pulse, hal disabled; ffmpeg_libvorbis, gtest enabled
fresh nvidia driver works smoothly(no error from Xorg log)

when I use `xbmc` it's complain about the hardware support,
Code:
XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering.
and failed to load driver,
Code:
LibGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
exiting with code 1, and no crash log exist.

then I use `.../lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin` instead
The XBMC lives but without the texts(missing text on screen anywhere!!)
I have tried changing fonts(blindly;P)
ERROR within .../xbmc.log
Code:
ERROR: CSettingsManager: unable to load setting for special://masterprofile/guisettings.xml, creating new default settings
ERROR: GLX: Same window as before, refreshing  context
ERROR PVR - Create Tables -failed to get add-ons from the add-on manage

Thank you,

says it all, you are running OpenGL on software emulation. Double check your nvidia driver.

wow wsnipex, you are brilliant!!

It seems something modified my /usr/lib/libGL.so*,
and after uninstall && install NV driver, Gotham lives happily again!!!
EDIT: The text has been coming back, too Wink

by the way is the ./configure --enable-gl do the modification? I just can't remind any other thing will touch my libGL

no, xbmc will never ever change your system libs.
