testcard on RPI

[Marco Warga]

Hi,

I've built and installed SDL + Simple2D with your scripts on the RPI without issues, When I run the testcard all I get is a gray screen. Is this correct or am I supposed to see something else ? RTFM ?  I would have expected something visual when looking at testcard.c render().

Thanks,
Marco

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, you're definitely suppose to see something else. Here's the testcard running on the Mac:

I should've added a picture of it on the web site – I'll do that shortly. I'm having problems initializing OpenGL ES properly on the Pi. I've had some luck with the Mesa implementation, but not with the native drivers/libs that ship with Raspbian. I'm going to reach out to the community, maybe the engineering team as well, to see if I can get some answers. If you know some people, feel free to send them over!

Thanks again,

Tom
