eglChooseConfig failing.

Hi there,





I’m using the GLES2 windows PC emulation. After compiling the samples they all fail to run as they cannot find a valid GLES 2 EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE.





On further investigation I dumped out a list of all the configs available (using eglGetConfigs). The results are:





EGL_RGB_SIZE(S) 8:8:8 - EGL_BUFFER_SIZE 32, EGL_DEPTH_SIZE 24, EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE : 1


EGL_RGB_SIZE(S) 8:8:8 - EGL_BUFFER_SIZE 32, EGL_DEPTH_SIZE 24, EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE : 1


EGL_RGB_SIZE(S) 8:8:8 - EGL_BUFFER_SIZE 32, EGL_DEPTH_SIZE 24, EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE : 1


EGL_RGB_SIZE(S) 4:4:4 - EGL_BUFFER_SIZE 16, EGL_DEPTH_SIZE 24, EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE : 1


EGL_RGB_SIZE(S) 4:4:4 - EGL_BUFFER_SIZE 16, EGL_DEPTH_SIZE 24, EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE : 1


EGL_RGB_SIZE(S) 4:4:4 - EGL_BUFFER_SIZE 16, EGL_DEPTH_SIZE 24, EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE : 1


EGL_RGB_SIZE(S) 5:6:5 - EGL_BUFFER_SIZE 16, EGL_DEPTH_SIZE 24, EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE : 1


EGL_RGB_SIZE(S) 5:6:5 - EGL_BUFFER_SIZE 16, EGL_DEPTH_SIZE 24, EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE : 1


EGL_RGB_SIZE(S) 5:6:5 - EGL_BUFFER_SIZE 16, EGL_DEPTH_SIZE 24, EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE : 1





EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE : 1 equates to EGL_OPENGL_ES_BIT rather than EGL_OPENGL_ES2_BIT





My graphics card is a very capable Radeon X1950 with very latest drivers. Is the only solution to this to buy a new graphics card?





Many thanks,

I've switched from ATI to NVidia 3 years ago when I started using the PowerVR SDKs.
Can you run the binaries provided? Guess not!

Hi there. Nope, cannot run the binaries provided, they fail in the same place.

Hi,

1. Are you using Native window or through some VMware or any other virtual box?

2. Can you run Normal OpenGL (desktop) applications?

Hi,





1.Native window on Windows XP.





2.Yes.
