Well, that window isn't using openGL, plasma does. You can try running with QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL set. 1. Well... Could you please tell me what QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL is? I mean: is it environment variable, or value in some config file, or what? 2. Shouldn't be this a default behavior? I mean, if not OpenGL support available, then use simpler graphics API/software emulation. Cause a user who've installed new (buggy) video driver/uses old graphic card/connects with VNC to monitor-less server/whatsoever will certainly prefer to see his plasma running, then displaying such useless message at start-up. Graphic wow-effects on desktop are not so important to prevent the whole X-server be started in case when video-driver configuration is not ideal. >1. Well...

sorry, it's an environment variable.
Sorry for my rude speech in the last comment, it was inappropriate. |
