wine users - Sep 2008 - Sketchup was unable to initialize OpenGl

Hi all,

I just installed Sketchup on my pc, and got the message above.

I am not sure how to go on from here, so I thought, let's ask the experts.

My video card is: Asus EAX1650Pro gamer edition.
I run: Ubuntu 6.04.01 desktop amd 64.

I am desperate, because I am working on a project, and can't continue.

Thanks in advance,

Bram

First Make sure that OpenGL is working in Native Linux
May Be u need to install Correct Graphics Driver for ur
Hardware. I also faced similar problem and in my case
I installed a correct graphics Driver.

Simple test for OpenGL is to test with OpenGL screensavers
(This is to best my Knowledge).

Once OpenGL is Working Natively on Linux 
Do Sketchup Installation and It works.

Mine is KUbuntu 8.0.4.1, wine 1.1.3

I have done some settings after install but
I dont remember them exactly. Hope I could search
them and post again

Thanks and Best Regards

Thanks for the help.

I am downloading sketchup as we speak, and I hope it will work.

Screensavers are working fine, all of them.

Will post when I know more.

Cheers,

Bram
