Tremulous Sys_Error: GLimp_Init()

Radeon 7500 mobile with DRI, tremulous can't find the 3d accell. libgl-dri is installed.

3d is enabled, working with bzflag, and it's the same xorg.conf as my ubuntu install, where everything worked fine.

Any help would be appreciated

Here's the log:

Re: Tremulous Sys_Error: GLimp_Init()

Hi, I had the same problem, with an i915g...
I solved using

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so

or wherever you have libGL.so.....

I hope this will help you, cause this game rocks!  8)

Re: Tremulous Sys_Error: GLimp_Init()

LIBGL_DEBUG=1 glxinfo, on top of the output should be an error message. The game/app doesn't start because you're using software rendering instead of DRI somehow.
