hello all
i have currently run into a issue with MT 4.9 on linux

Is the bug reproducable? yes
How can you reproduce the bug? by launching the launcher.
What is your operating system? OpenSUSE 13.1 64bit
What is your version of Minetest? 4.9
What game do you use? (e.g. minetest_game, MiniTest, dwarves) minetest

my graphic card is Nvidia Geforce gt 610 1gb ram on AMD Athlon x2 5000+ 4gb ram, i ran same minetest on linux mint 16 and had no issues, but upon returning to my most loved linux distro with kde i ran into this black screen launcher issue.

that may be the problem there have been some issues with irrlich 1.8 and minetest try removing irrlicht1.8 and compiling and installing 1.7 there also seems to be something with opengl try updating your graphics driver (oh and the version # is 0.4.9 not 4.9)

Your OpenGL version seems to be very low (< 1.2), get a better driver to increase that version.

The version you are using was accidentally linked to OpenGL ES, the issue was fixed in this commit.
The easiest way to fix this is to compile Minetest yourself.
