Hello,

I'm usign kicad on ubuntu linux 5.10. I have wings3d 0.98.29
installed, but 3d doesn't work.

I tried to create a link /usr/bin/wings -> /usr/bin/wings3d, but it
won't help. KiCAD doesn't provide any clue on what is wrong, and I
don't know what to do.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks,

Camilo A. Arboleda

The most likely thing is it needs an OpenGL or Mesa driver which supports your
video card. Because you have X11 up and running, it does not nessesarily mean
that Mesa/OpenGL 3D rendering is supported on your video card.

Does the 3D viewer open a window which is black asside from the menu bar? If
so, then you most likely need to get Mesa or OpenGL working with your video
card, or get another video card, or.....

Oh yeah, one more thing. To verify if Mesa/OpenGL 3D rendering is working with
your video card at all, you can try running one of the Mesa demos like
"gears" or something.

Hi Camilo,

Try message number 61 of sep. 28.
Maybe you have color depth set to 16 instead of 24 or 32 bits.

Pedro.

I forgot to say, but I already checked screen depth (24 bit color),
and checked MesaLib. Also Wings3d *does* work, but kiCAD doesn't.

Yex, it gives me a blank windows (besides menu bar), but doesn't seem
to be a problem wiht mesa.

Are you launching KiCAD from the command line or by clicking on a menu or
icon? If you are launching from the command line, are there any error
messages at all that might give some sort of a clue?

Otherwise, if there are no errors at all, I'd say one option is to build
KiCAD from source with debugging enabled (I've done this before, it's easy),
just make sure you have all the wxWidgets and Wings3D headers (dev packages)
installed (and maybe some GTK headers, I don't recall). Then run KiCAD in the
debugger and set some breakpoints where it's supposed to do the 3D stuff.
I'll bet if you do that, it won't take long at all before you can observe
where it's going wrong.

Which video card and which distro are you using?

Ian

Hi,

I had the same problem when i was using my older laptop. I had
installed Mesa/OpenGL and it worked fine. Also the wings3d worked fine,
but Kicad did not. Now, I have a new laptop with 3D acceleration and it
works fine. So, I guess that you need to install the 3D acceleration
drivers.

I have the same operationg system (Debian Sarge) in both laptop. The
OpenGL and Mesa are the same and also the X windows. The only difference
is in the acceleration hardware.

When I run the glxgears program i get about 1300 FPS

Best Regards, Juan
