AW: [vtkusers] Problems with vtk and wxPython on Windows

[Marcus Stojek]

Hi,
you have written the wxVTKRenderWindow.py, right? Thanks.

And thanks for your answer. I would be really glad if the
problem would be located outside my code ;-) But as the software
is meant to be used by others on a lot of different
machines I need a method to test for an appropriate
OpenGL driver. How can I specify the requirements the driver
has to meet?
Is the version number enough?
And how can I test it from Python?
And what is the sense of life?

The driver I am using is OpenGL version 1.1.28. (It IS 3DLabs ;-))
I haven't checked the machines on which the errors occur but I will
tomorrow.

Thanks again,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

It sounds like the problem is related more to the OpenGL driver than
to the operating sysem (NT vs. 2000/XP).  The error under Win2K strongly
hints that the OpenGL driver is the problem
>     WGL Message:System Error: (21):cannot unmap GLINT DMA buffer

The "GLINT DMA" definitely refers to your video card (which must
be manufactured by 3DLabs, I'm guessing). So upgrade the driver for
your video card and see if that helps.

Cheers,
 - David
