I am coding Elite Multiplayer to use Minib3d in a MaxGUI window and this works 100% on Win32 but on linux it comes up with

EliteMultiplayerClient.debug: i915_vtbl.c:344: i915_emit_state: Assertion '0' failed.
Aborted

Process complete

Anyone have any ideas?

Interestingly... a search of Google provides this :

Interesting because the problem app was also made in BlitzMax.

...which makes you wonder, perhaps, what GL calls is Max2D making that the driver has issues with?

Strangely enough the program works till you move/click the mouse then it hurls the error.

I have located the problem, it seems to be NOTHING at all to so with the graphics card and is something to do with MaxGUI. I have changed the code so the PollEvent call is called EVERY cycle of the loop and it works ok now, the system needs some more adjustments but its getting there :)

I had some weird event exceptions too a while ago when using events and BMAX, i wonder if it is related :/

probably related, but unforunately its rather hard to debug when max chucks up a massive error message then drops back to the desktop without so much as a 'by your leave'.

righty I have located the problem that causes the error, the problem that called my assertion '0' failure is native gl calls in my placetext function I called gl from within max (not though minib3d) this kills the program with the assertion error, removing this function from the code and the entire project works like a dream.

For me this isnt an issue as I have a native system to do 3d text but I just thought I would pass it on for others that might be experiencing the problem it might give you peeps somewhere to look :)
