It would appear when one doesn’t have a graphical card drivers capable of hardware-accelerated OpenGL. Perhaps you’re using Wayland or something?..

In that machine I am using plain X11 (otherwise Zoom complains) and AMD GPU drivers, I'll try in another one with proprietary NVidia drivers and I will let you know.

No luck yet, still getting display related errors "Encountered unhandled error: Initializing display failed"

Okay, could you please run this build and after it shows error message, post the file /tmp/allegro.log from your system? Thanks!

Here are the logs http://fpsd.codes/allegro.log

Thank you!

Judging by the log and liballegro code, it would appear that your video card is just not capable enough. Allegro requires the following list of things: OpenGL rendering, RGBA colors, double buffering, stereo buffers (whatever those are), auxiliary color buffers, depth buffer, stencil buffer, and accumulation buffer.

I’m sorry it doesn’t work for you 😔

Too bad :( 

Anyway, does your game require all those features or is just Allegro that queries for them by default? Maybe there is a way to disable features that you don't use. Anyway don't waste your time trying to let me play your game :D

Allegro that queries for them by default

I believe this is the case.

In fact I can probably sketch a small C program that’ll tell which exact feature your video card is missing, but a bit later.
