Re: OpenGLES 1.1 problem

I have really no idea about OpenGL (yet), but wouldn't you need to set the shading model (glShadeModel() - maybe GL_FLAT to begin with) and assign the draw color (glEnableClientState( GL_COLOR_ARRAY ); glColorPointer(4, GL_FLOAT, 0, <colors>);) or a texture (glBindTexture())?

Re: How do I connect to a home network

In addition to installing the Samba (well, it should be already in Raspbian?), you would need to do some configuration I guess...

Maybe this thread would help http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... f=6&t=5520

Kbd&mouse -> hub -> switch -> PC&RPi ? Obviously not as handy as two-input-port hub, but the Poundland 'ufo looking' hubs would be dismissable compared to the Lindy price...

Re: Raspberry Pi doesn't have IP adress

For a cabled, headless setup you can ignore the wpa*, wi* and lxde in the previous post.

Did you have the cable plugged in before booting up the RPi? Maybe it did not start up the network components (correctly). Check the network status leds as the first reply suggests!

Re: Losing network connection within minutes

Also might be a good idea to check that there are no other devices with the same IP address in the same network (segment)... Had odd connection dropping issues in a certain network, until realised that the DHCP pool was too small and RPi ended up with the same IP as another computer - leading to eit...

Re: Boot/Display problems

Maybe the resolution RPi tries to use is not suitable for that monitor?

Is it the RPi or the monitor that displays the 'Cannot display this video mode...' message?

Check the hdmi configuration options here http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#Display - possibly start with 'hdmi_safe=1' ?

Just for the record, could you please list the configuration you have? - display type (monitor / tv), maybe model number - display native resolution - connection used (you say you used HDMI, but is it HDMI both ends or something else) - the display mode your monitor gets to (if you can, i.e. the dis...

Not 100% sure if the OpenGLES etc rendered stuff is available in the framebuffer though - haven't yet checked... Well... now checked this and (of course) none of the HW accelerated stuff goes through the framebuffer. As said, dispmanx has it's own screenshot/dump function - I assume EGL may have on...

Re: Rpi headless screen size

I assume it's the fact that when there is no HDMI screen attached (or recognised wrong) RPi defaults to the composite output and the default resolution would be chosen according to that. You might want to look at forcing the HDMI mode using the settings in the config.txt http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troub...

Hmm, sorry - sometimes hard to get the 'experience level' of the explanation right :)

It's not necessarily any more effective way of doing it, but there are some advantages especially if you end up coding something bigger.
