LÖVE

Friends,

I just came across Love two days ago, and met with the following error while attempting to run the hello world example:

X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 138 (NV-GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 4 ()
Resource id in failed request: 0x4c0000f
Serial number of failed request: 34
Current serial number in output stream: 34
AL lib: ALc.c:1879: exit(): closing 1 Device
AL lib: ALc.c:1808: alcCloseDevice(): destroying 1 Context(s)
AL lib: ALc.c:1420: alcDestroyContext(): deleting 64 Source(s)

I have checked around for possible solutions and I am certain that the problem is not the code which matches that on the wiki verbatim, nor is it the .love package which I made sure to create with the zip utility (and I didn't zip up the parent folder, only the main.lua). Running it from the parent folder as specified in the example does not work either.

For reference, I am on Linux Mint 10, and I am running a GeForce GTX 460M. Sorry I don't have more detailed information to give; any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like something is wrong with your version of SDL or X11. (Or the communication between those two.)

Try installing proprietary video drivers for your graphics card.

welp that was it - hadn't updated the driver since the last kernel update.

thanks for the help! much appreciated
