FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hello, my laptop has AMD graphics and Debian Linux. Minetest will crash unless I have fps_max = 8. I've found with other stuff on my laptop that if I just change the graphics it uses from OpenGL to something else, it works fine. Is there a way with minetest.conf to make the graphics type be something other than OpenGL?

You can also try "software" instead of "burningsvideo".
Don't expect it to be very playable, though.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

video_driver = burningsvideo

-_- It looks weird.

I found playing at "IhrFussel's Server" ran very smoothly,
I even got the impression that it's faster then local singleplayer.

I don't know why, but trying to run MT on my gaming pc (i5, 8gb ram, gtx 960 4g) using OpenGL only gets me ~50 - 60 fps, but software gets be ~60 fps all the time. :/ I'm not sure why, it works BETTER than OpenGL, which uses the GPU.
