CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hi,

I got a problem with my openSUSE 13.1 and crossover 13.2. I would like to install programs which need 3d support (Powerpoint 2010 and games) but they cant find my graphiccard. I already installed libOSMesa-32bit and I also created the symlinks like in this link described. So I get no more errors in cxdiag, which could cause the problem with my graphics.

My cxdiag

linux-83n5:/opt/cxoffice/bin # ./cxdiag
[MissingLibHal]
"Level"="Suggest"
"Title"="Missing 32bit libhal.so.1 library"
"Description"="This may be needed for Windows applications to automatically detect CD-ROM and USB key insertion."

[Properties]
"display.depth"="24"

[Properties]
"opengl.vendor"="X.Org"

[Properties]
"opengl.version"="3.0 Mesa 9.2.3"

[Properties]
"opengl.renderer"="Gallium 0.4 on AMD BARTS"

Please tell me more possible solutions how I can solve this problem. I would really prefer to use openSUSE instead of Fedora or sth similar.

My system:
openSUSE 13.1 64bit with KDE 4.11.5
ATI HD6870 with free radeon driver

Thanks

Hello Netzheimer,

what do you mean exactly?

Do your games launch at all or do you get an error of some kind? Could you post a few screenshots of the issue?

It's unfortunate that openSUSE 13.1 is still runing on Mesa 9.2.3, while Ubuntu 14 and Fedora are on Mesa 10.2.x and beyond. This could also be the reason for the issue you are having. Our desktop runs Ubuntu 14.04.1 64-bit and openSUSE 13.1 64-bit in dualboot. I use a HD 7850 AMD GPU to power our apps and games. I get horrible performance on openSUSE 13.1 + Mesa 9.2.3 + default drivers. To make it worse, some games don't launch at all. Framerates are about 2-6x higher via Ubuntu 14 and Fedora 20 in direct combination with Mesa 10.2.x. This applies only to the AMD hardware I am using though. It's a complete different story when using the Nvidia GPU in my laptop. I don't know if it's just Mesa or some combination of drivers that's causing the gap in performance, but that's what I have been experiencing so far.

Btw, just in case you need the information a bit faster; I suggest you try one of the many support channels for Crossover. Most of my questions get adressed within a couple of minutes!
