Any message on the standard error output?
Only this one qouted above.
What about your graphics drivers, are they up-to-date?
Nope.
You may also try the latest sources from SVN (you'll have to recompile SFML).
But if you could try these code sample on your Linux I would be grateful
. I was competing in 2h game compo and I was using SFML for graphics and input. After 1 hour I tried to compile what i wrote and see the results but i got this error and it took me another hour to figure out what causes this error. Sooo i didnt submit my work
. And I would really like to know if this was SFML fault or my OS or some other sinister force
