When I try to run the game Cogs from the command line, the game spits out the following error and dies immediately:



Couldn't set 800x600 OpenGL video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual


What does this mean, and how can I fix this?



Edit: I have an intel graphics card.

I have the same problem (different resolution in my case: 1366x768);



The solution was to edit the following file: ~/.local/share/Cogs/cogs.ini
(you can see the Windows origins of this game from the file and the path);



Play with the settings there - I would set resolution to 0, and all visual effects to minimum to get it running - then you can always open the settings window and change them to something better.



The minimalistic file looks like this:



VolumeMusic 0.044484
VolumeEffects 0.750000
EnableShadows false
EnableFilters false
Fullscreen false
IntervalImmediate true
Resolution 0
WindowPosX 0
WindowPosY 0
Antialiasing 0
