I’m using RedHat 7.1 with the NVIDIA drivers, and am having trouble with the NeHe tutorials. The linux/glx ones work fine, but the linux ones that use glut give me this error:
“GLU fatal error in lesson04:visual with necessary capabilities not found”
Sorry the error is:
“GLUT fatal error in lesson04:visual with necessary capabilities not found”

That means the application tried to initialise a mode through glut, but that mode wasn’t available (e.g., maybe it asked for a stencil buffer, but that isn’t supported in your setup).
rts…you were right
I changed
// glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_ALPHA | GLUT_DEPTH);
to
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH);
and it worked.
I have a GeForce2 GTS…do the nvidia drivers not support the GLUT_ALPHA?
