Problem with OpenGL

Applications

When starting OpenGL Screen Saver or applications in Windows 98, the message

“No local buffer memory available” appears.

Solution Set a lower resolution and color depth:

1. Right-click your desktop, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.

2. In the “Display Properties” dialog box, click the Settings tab.

3. In the “Desktop Area” group box, move the slider to set a lower resolution.

4. In the “Color Palette” group box, set to 640x480 and 16-bit color (high color)

for OpenGL applications to work properly.

OpenGL applications run uncharacteristically slowly in Windows 98.

Cause OpenGL applications do not support Windows 98’s multi-monitor feature.

Consequently, Windows 98 disables all hardware acceleration when the multi-

monitor option is enabled.

Solution Disable the multi-monitor option:

1. Right-click your desktop, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.

2. In the “Display Properties” dialog box, click the Settings tab.

3. Clear the “Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor” check box.
