If you remember what the app was, you could try 'ldd </path/to/app>' to see what specific libraries it wants, then use 'dnf provides ...' on those components, but there could be conflicts. Does the exact error message say something more useful than "can't access OpenGL"?
Thanks Patrick, I'll check that out. In the KDE menus, under category multimedia there is an entry called "Videos", which I thought was installed as part of installing Fedora. The message it produces is "Unable to initialise Opengl support".
I'll check the menu entry and try to figure out what it is trying to do.
regards,
Steve
