Missing DRI drivers

Table of Contents

Description

DRI drivers are needed to get the full OpenGL performance and functionality. Their absence can cause OpenGL to be reported as not working, and prevent games and productivity applications alike from working properly.

Resolution

Installing the Mesa DRI drivers may fix this issue. However if you use the proprietary AMD or Nvidia drivers you may need to install other packages.

On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missingdridrivers missingdridrivers.amd64

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

  • For 32-bit Windows applications
    • 32-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu mesa
    • 64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-mesa
    • Debian : apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
    • 32-bit Fedora : yum install mesa-dri-drivers
    • 64-bit Fedora : yum install mesa-dri-drivers.i686 mesa-dri-drivers.x86_64
    • 32-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install Mesa
    • 64-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install Mesa-32bit
    • 32-bit openSUSE >= 15.0 : zypper install Mesa-dri
    • 64-bit openSUSE >= 15.0 : zypper install Mesa-dri-32bit
    • Ubuntu 14.04-utopic : apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-utopic:i386
    • Ubuntu 14.04-vivid : apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-vivid:i386
    • Ubuntu 14.04-wily : apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-wily:i386

 

  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu mesa
    • Debian : apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64
    • Fedora : yum install mesa-dri-drivers.x86_64
    • openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install Mesa
    • openSUSE >= 15.0 : zypper install Mesa-dri
    • Ubuntu 14.04-utopic : apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-utopic:amd64
    • Ubuntu 14.04-vivid : apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-vivid:amd64
    • Ubuntu 14.04-wily : apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-wily:amd64

Notes:

  • cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
  • The commands usually also apply to newer versions of the distributions above as well as derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 7 may still be valid for the latest Debian Testing and is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
