Fatal Error: Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'!

[Gobli]

I cannot run Half-Life 1, Counter Strike or Osmos. Also, Team Fortress 2 gives me: "Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'!". I have the nvidia-experimental-310 from ubuntu-x-swat, the ia32-libs as well. I have tried with the official drivers from nvidia.com and all the packages from x-swat, but no luck at all.

I'm having similar issues, though in my case OpenGL games including Half-Life, Trine 2, Doom 3, Counter Strike 1.6 and UrbanTerror all work corrctly, but TF2 and CS:S throws this "Cannot find entry point!" error for me. (Using card nvidia 9800GT on 64-bit Arch Linux with 32 bit nvidia-utils package installed for compatibility, driver version 313.18 (with same result on the 310.xx drivers)).

I don't understand how it can be that my other games are using OpenGL with no problems (particularly Half-Life) but TF2 and CS:S can't even hook into this basic GL function. Hrm.

I just downloaded Counter Strike: Source on my Fedora x86_64 install with LXDE and I too got the same error when starting the game "Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated".

Alright, I solved my problem was missing some 32-bit packages. Here's what I installed:

sudo yum install xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-devel.i686 xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs.i686

I also add the same problem as you on F18. Your solution worked like a charm, thanks.

I have not yum (on Ubuntu 12.04) but I have ever installed last beta nvidia drivers (with jockey-gtk). How can I solve this problem ?

You installed them manually?

[Exa]

No, with jockey-gtk.

I'm having the same problem, I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 and downloaded Counter Strike Source, but when I try opening it it gives me that error, it was working fine on Windows. I haven’t been able to try downloading the sudo yum install xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-devel.i686 xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs.i686 because I have no idea what that is and where to download it from.Some help would be great.
P.S I'm sorry for being such a noob I'm more of a console gamer I'm new to PC

"sudo" means the same thing as getting administrator privileges on windows. "yum" is referring to the thing which installs/ updates all your programs. Ubuntu doesn't use "yum install", but instead uses "apt-get install". "xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-devel.i686 xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs.i686 " are the packages you are trying to install. These look like they're for AMD graphics cards. Btw I'm using nvidia 331 drivers with bumblebee on linuxmint 16 with gt630m graphics, and still haven't found a solution to this problem

If you go into the terminal by pressing ctrl alt T and then type sudo yum install xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-devel.i686 xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs.i686

Did you read his post entirely?
He's using ubuntu (using apt ), not fedora (using yum). So the correct code is:

sudo apt-get install xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-devel.i686 xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs.i686

Well, where should I start... wrong syntax (architecture suffix is separated with ':', not '.'), wrong packages (completely different package management systems, completely different naming conventions), wrong architecture suffix ('i386' instead of 'i686') - and last but not least: Ubuntu does not split up its proprietary driver packages, 32bit libraries are always included within the 64bit packages!

Idd sorry i wrote too fast. I was just correcting the 'yum install'. I haven't verified the packages. My bad :(
