I’m hoping to use my Pocket Reform as a portable chiptune tracker, so I’ve been hoping to run MilkyTracker on it. However, when I try to run it, I get:
SDL: SDL_CreateWindow: (width: 640, height: 480) failed: GLX is not supported
Okay, how about glxgears:
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
Anyone else gotten opengl based applications running reasonably?
That seems highly unusual. Are you using something else than the default sway/a wayland compositor? Perhaps Xorg on the framebuffer device? What’s the setup?
I’m running the stock (Debian unstable) with Sway on Wayland with the iMX8MP SoC, and both glxgears and milkytracker are running in that.
I’m also able to change my login shell to a terminal (zsh w/ no Wayland or X) and run milkytracker in that, albeit you need to pass in the -orientation ROTATE90CCW parameter to have the display rotate correctly, and apparently the mouse input is not working… Console messages appear to indicate that this is running with acceleration under Mesa, but I haven’t figured out what’s up with the input.
I got it resolved. It was my bad, I had done an apt-get upgrade and not an apt-get dist-upgrade and somehow something must have been out of sync. After the dist-upgrade everything is fine! About to try writing my first beat in Milkytracker!
