err:wgl error when trying to run a program.

Post by disreprivalize »

I'm sorry, I'm new to this. I need to install this program for some undergrad research.

program: Vega ZZ. The install seemed to work fine.
but when I try to run it using 'wine VegaZZ.exe', X11 opens up a window saying "Code 1006. Can't set the pixel format"
the command prompt prints out:

err:wgl:internal_SetPixelFormat Couldn't set format of the window, returning failure

someone else here has the same program already running on a linux computer.
any help would be very appreciated.

I have been looking into it more and I think the problem is the video card on this computer is too old and doesn't support OpenCL, which the program needs. Also, it's only 128 MB and recommended is 512 MB.
If there's anyway to verify this with debugging somehow, I'd be interested in learning how to do that. for future reference. I really have a hard time reading the debugging examples pages.
