[SOLVED] Intel Sandy Bridge and OpenGL extensions with TF2

SOLUTION: First I headed over to the Arch Linux Wiki for the Intel cpu: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics
I followed the instructions on enabling SNA
I reinstalled every package pertaining to Intel and graphics
I restarted my computer, and much to my surprise, tf2 launched!
Also, I may have gotten rid of video tear...?

Edit: oh yeah, I also added myself to the "video" group, but I think I was in it...

I have been searching the interwebs for some sort of answer to this problem, but maybe I just haven't had the right parameters.

I am using an Intel i5-2557M processor of some description inside the ever-so-powerful MacBook Air (mid 2011 model). When I try to run TF2 on this beast of a machine (which surprisingly can run TF2 on Mac OSX if I would dare boot into that OS ever again) I get this lovely output:

[me@thiscomputer]$ ./hl2.sh
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.

Check your -game parameter or VCONFIG setting.

Does anybody know how to resolve these errors?

I have all of the dependenc(y/ies) installed (lib32-libtxc_dri)...

You're not the only one that can't play games on Steam becouse of Intel graphics.I'm in the same situation.Luckily I'm not a gamer.

Get coding!

This might be a bit beyond my current C knowledge...

It should be possible to implement the missing functionality on Ironlake.  The code is open source, and the hardware documentation is freely available on the web(*), so in theory, anyone could make progress toward this.

"In theory..." only goes so far

(sorry for double post)

Wait just one second... I have Intel HD Graphics 3000 in a i5-2557M processor...

That bug page says "before Sandy Bridge." My card is Sandy Bridge.

I should have support. What have I done wrong?

Re: [SOLVED] Intel Sandy Bridge and OpenGL extensions with TF2

Ah, now I see it, the driver doesn't get loaded at all. You said you installed all dependencies, but it seems you're missing lib32-intel-dri.

I have that one too...

[a user@a computer]# pacman -Qs ".*intel.*"
local/intel-dri 9.1-2
    Mesa drivers for Intel
local/intel-tbb 4.1_20121003-1
    High level abstract threading library
local/lib32-intel-dri 9.1-2
    Mesa DRI drivers for Intel (32-bit)
local/libva-intel-driver 1.0.19-1
    VA-API implementation for Intel G45 chipsets and Intel HD Graphics for Intel Core processor family.
local/xf86-video-intel 2.21.3-1 (xorg-drivers xorg)
    X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers

It is, of course, entirely possible that I didn't set any of these up correctly. I only ever installed the packages, which is usually enough. Was there anything else I missed?

Is this a problem?

[this guy@da compy ]$ glxinfo
. . .
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.

Yes it is. You are not in the video group.

Yes it is. You are not in the video group.

You don't need to be if the session is properly tracked by logind.
