Problem with OpenGl ?

[Sandalmanden]

I have a problem, I have a Fujitzu Siemens Amilo, 1.4 GHZ, 1.2 ram, which I have installed PCLinuxOS 2o1o KDE on. My problem is that PCLinuxOS shut down the desktop (not the machine) and restart, ask for login and password. If I hit the "OpenGL" app.  the same happens immediately. It does not happen every time but maybe every third time I start the machine. What is the problem here?
Hope someone can help

hello and welcome to the forum

so the system logs in and logs out immediately?

what video card do you have?

[Sandalmanden]

Thanks! It is an Amilo L7300, with Intel integrated graphics card. The PCLOS has use "S3 UniChrome-based with 3D support". Is this the problem?

I might just do it more clearly, i can sit an hour or two, and suddenly disappear  the screen and a split second after the logginscreen pop ups,  and i lost All the works in have done . Otherwise everything works great, and the machine is very very fast, compared with Win.XP

did you selected that video driver or did the system do it?

where do you see the information about s3?  

i did a search on internet and found this information

http://www.ciao.co.uk/Productinformation/Fujitsu_Siemens_AMILO_L7300__6232122

it indeed has a s3 video card, a problematic piece of hardware on linux, well, on windows too  

if you have cli acces(console) you can reconfigure video, write su and then enter, it will ask a password and there you write the root password you gave when installing the system

then write XFdrake and enter, it is case sensitive, this will call a cli tool or a window(i hope the second) there you can select video card, monitor and resolution

press the graphics card/vendor/s3/unichrome base

if it doesn't work, you can try xorg/s3 or even vesa

Sandalmanden , since your problem is completely different on completely different hardware you should create your own post to get the proper help, also post your system specs and don't forget to update machine and mention what apps are you running and the kernel you have installed

Thanks for your reply, I'll immediately try your suggestions. It was the machine that chose the S3 UniChrome, this I found out by going to Control Center, Configure your Computer, select an X server and here is a series of options to choose among graphics cards
