Hello, Today I bought Leadwerks on steam because I thought it was worth it because of the huge winter sales But when I launch it and create a workspace the following error comes up : Failed to initialize graphics. Please ensure your graphics hardware is compatible and install new graphics drivers. And I found this old post who had the same problem which did not reassure me in the slightest because I haven't had a new computer in 6 years and my parents won't even let me buy my own if I saved up for it. I also did sudo lshw -C video And got the following result : *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: RS780L [Radeon 3000] vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] physical id: 5 bus info: pci@0000:01:05.0 version: 00 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=radeon latency=0 resources: irq:18 memory:d0000000-dfffffff ioport:d000(size=256) memory:feaf0000-feafffff memory:fe900000-fe9fffff I also tried updating openGL which changed a huge amount of nothing Please help, Does this mean the computer is to old for this ?

Just for information, I succesfully install Leadwerks on my Arch Linux with nvidia drivers so I just want to explain how I did it if someone has some trouble. My system : Arch Linux x64 with Nvidia drivers Nvidia GTX 670 Core i5 3570K Gnome 3 First, I installed these packages : # pacman -S gcc nvidia-libgl lib32-openal gtk-engines gtk-engine-murrine lib32-libx11 lib32-libxxf86vm lib32-glib2 lib32-gtk2 Next, I had some problems with the gtk lib path, so I had to set this environment variable : $ export GTK_PATH=:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0 You can also add this line at the end of your .xinitrc file to automatically set this env at startup. Now you can start the LeadwerksUpdater and finally the editor when the update has finished. If someone have an other arch linux configuration with some other steps to do. You can post it here.
