I've compiled crystalspace from CVS in Linux. I have a radeon 9200 256 Megs.
A lot of 3D aplications render ok but crystalspace 3D says "indirect rendering".
My output for './isotest -verbose=-scf' is:
VFS_NOTIFY: loaded configuration file: /mnt/bicholinux/home/edi/games/planeshift/crystalspace-cvs/CS/./vfs.cfg

The problem seems to be related to an incorrect 'desired_attributes []' in glxChooseVisual: plugins/video/canvas/openglx/glx2d.cpp (see line 234 for the struct and line 251 for function call).
I have been looking at the code of bzflag (that runs ok for me) and the function calls are similar, but the attributes are chosen from glx_ calls (but crystalspace specifies attributes in this vector).
I do not know almost anything of GL programming so I can not tell you more detailed info and I could not solve the problem.
I have to insist that my 3D infraestructure direct renders in almost all 3D games I have tested (unless america's army and unreal tournament 2004 and some other nVidia optimised ones).
I use DRI from snapshots in dri.sf.net but I have tested it from kernel's DRI and DRM.
With fglrx driver CS does not work too.
My system is Gentoo but I have tested this problem in Debian too.
Please, can you help me?
