Installing OpenGL?

[ayu]

I have been working all night now to get this to work so that i can play my games on Linux and FINALLY throw that windows CD out of the Window (irony), because it's the only thing keeping me from changing, the games that is. Anyway if anyone can help me install OpenGL and getting it to work it would be awesome. I got Cedega working and running and i installed Command & Conquer generals and managed to start it up, but it was lagging like freaking hell and the menus were not showed. And cedega says that the OpenGL failed :/

Anyway thanks in advance and goodnight.....

Thanks p_o, i have been trying to configure mesa now, and it went pretty well until this came up... i was supposed to get a few components for x.org and i was going to use git to get them.

git git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/proto/xf86vidmodeproto


now this came up

Code: Select all

git, the filemanager with GNU Interactive Tools, is now called gitfm.

If you are looking for git, Linus Torvald's content tracker, install
the cogito and git-core packages and see README.Debian and git(7).

This transition script will be removed in the debian stable
release after etch.

If you wish to complete the transition early, install git-core
and use (as root):
 update-alternatives --config git

Press RETURN to run gitfm
