Overture-Demo and Nvidia: BadLength (poly request too large ...) - fanumbra - 06-20-2011 This is about the Overture Demo which fails to start on Debian Wheezy AMD64 with Nvidia 6200 TurboCache video card. This happens since I replaced my nouveau driver by the original nvidia driver. (I replaced nouveau because the demo start menu was extremely slow, even the mouse pointer was stuttering.) ---- Now, with the original Nvidia driver, the screen becomes black for some seconds, then reverts to my terminal (with the screen resolution already switched down), and I read: Code: X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ulimit -c ... did not change anything. The hpl.log shows no error just some "success" messages. How to continue ? Thank you in advance - Ruben ++++++++++++++++++ (The full hpl.log is attached.) RE: Overture-Demo and Nvidia: BadLength (poly request too large ...) - Urkle - 06-20-2011 Check some other 3d applications and ensure they work correctly as well. it might be that your drivers are not setup correctly. Also look at the output of glxinfo and paste it here. RE: Overture-Demo and Nvidia: BadLength (poly request too large ...) - fanumbra - 06-20-2011 That was, obviously, an issue of the nvidia driver. I've installed Code: Package: libgl1-nvidia-glx-ia32 (These binary 32-bit libraries provide optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL applications via a direct-rendering X Server. See the description of the nvidia-glx package or /usr/share/doc/libgl1-nvidia-glx/README.txt.gz for a complete list of supported GPUs and PCI IDs.) according to the hint at http://delogics.blogspot.com/2010/12/x-error-of-failed-request-badlength.html Works. - Thank you - Ruben RE: Overture-Demo and Nvidia: BadLength (poly request too large ...) - Denbo123 - 09-10-2011 im having some trouble. i just installed overture and the graphics aren't working properly. i am admittedly a complete noob at pc gaming, and have no idea how to fix this. i gather that the graphics card on my laptop may not be the best... (if that makes sense) .. but i am calling for help. i really wanna lay the game and if anyone can help me then thank you very much ) RE: Overture-Demo and Nvidia: BadLength (poly request too large ...) - hollowleviathan - 09-10-2011 You should make a new thread about your issue instead of replying to this one, including what your video card is, and what error message you're seeing, or any other details about what's going wrong. |
