[solved] video plugin problem?

[Archer91]

Hi there and greetings from Italy.
I (hope) correctly downloaded and installed pcsx2 from the AUR 2 days ago, but when I try booting a game using any video plugin but GSnull, it crashes (blank unresponsive window) and I have to pkill it from terminal. Any idea of what am I doing wrong?

os: Arch Linux x86_64
ram: 6gb
cpu: Intel i5 430M
gpu: nvidia GeForce GT 320M

nope :/

if I launch it from command line I get this output with ZZ Ogl PG 0.4.0 [libzzogl-0.4.0] plugin (nothing at all after the startup with GSdx (GCC 4.7.1, SSE2) 0.1.16 [libGSdx-0.1.16] )

Code:

so I guess it should be something to do with te gpu, but I don't know what I have to do to fix it

Your driver is badly installed or you're driver is craps or you miss to install the 32 bits part of the driver. You need to have opengl 3 support.

Thank you so much! If anyone run into the same issue: I solved it by following this guide on Arch Linux wiki. All I was missing was lib32-nvidia-utils.
Have I thanked you yet? Yes? Well, thank you again! And, of course, +1 for you.
