Not in this case, thje idea is that the (error) dialog gets shown when the user tries to launch a 3d game from the menu.

The idea is to create a generic wrapper script and then modify all opengl games to use this (atleast all in the kickstart file)

I think this would way too annoying. I just want to provide a gentle nag. Not to frustrate users every time they try to launch 3D games which I suspect will happen if we modify all the related menu entries to launch a dialog box.


Note that the dialog will _only_ be shown when dri (direct rendering) is not available, so if we wouldn't show the dialog (and not start the game) the user would get a slide show (software rendering) and navigating a menu with the mouse when you get 3 frames per second can be quite annoying.

Here is a alternative solution:

Login time, check whether DRI is enabled and popup a message "Your system does not have open accelerated 3D drivers available or installed on your system. This means that you will not able to play 3D games efficiently. Click here for more information" and point them to a wiki link in Fedora with more information.

Have a check box below saying "Don't remind me, next time" or just bring this dialog box up only on first login for a new user.
