Salix Forums

I have installed OpenBVE (http://odakyufan.zxq.net/openbve/index.html) and its dependancies (mono, SDL, OpenAL).
When I execute it, it starts fine, but selecting a route and train then starting the simulation gives me the error:
I tried updating to the newest SDL but no lock.

Running Salix XFCE 14.0 on a 32bit i686.

Do I need to provide any further information for you guys?

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

How are you starting it?

Unless this is a bug with the software that you're trying to run itself, try running it from the command line, while setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER variable, like this: You can find a list of all available SDL video drivers here:

You could also try some other SDL app/game, like ltris, just to check if it works properly. If it does, it's probably something specific to your app.

Thank you very much gapan, I shall try your advice when I get back to the computer.
I am currently running the application from the command-line thus: Is it possible to chain multiple commands like this: Or do I need to join multiple commands with a separator character?

Yes, it's possible.

Thanks again gapan. Your comments helped to point me in the right direction and after recompiling dependencies and the application, I managed to get it to work.
