Ryzom on a laptop?

[sevitoth]

I just bought a brand new Dell Latitude laptop. It has a Pentium M 740 processor, 1 gig of ddr ram and a 128 mb video card. When I try to run Ryzom, I get a "cannot create window" error. I am running at 1024x768x32. I tried setting all the video options to low but still get the error. Yes it has the latest drivers.

This laptop should be beefy enough to run the game at least decently, but I can't get it to run. Does Ryzom even run on laptops?

Thanks.

Yes it does. Your best bet is to run dxdiag* and save the results into a file and attach that to an email to support-ee@ryzom.com. That way we can see exactly what you are working with and can advise you properly on how to proceed.
* How to run dxdiag: Click 'Start' button; Select 'Run...' ; Enter dxdiag in the input box; Click 'Okay'; Click the button 'Save all information' and name an output file; Attach that file to your email.

Done. Thanks!

What kind of video chipset does it have? ATI or nVidia? If you have an ATI make sure you use DirectX rendering. nVidia should be good with either DirectX or OpenGL. I have a Compaq laptop that runs Ryzom just fine. It has an Athlon 64 3200+, 1.256GB RAM, and an ATI Radeon xpress 200M video card with 128MB dedicated RAM. I had some performance issues at first but turning off mico-vegiation helped a lot with that.

Unfortunately, it ends up that they had the Intel onboard video chip.

Ahh...then I'm thinking Ryzom won't run at all on that laptop.
