Hello Ricardo,

The problem is with the Mesa package that provides OpenGL (graphics) support.  OpenSUSE 13.2 has a recent version of Mesa, so I am surprised it doesn't work.  Perhaps there is a configuration problem, or there are supporting packages that are missing.

Our recommended solution is to install the proprietary graphics driver for your graphics card.  Run lspci (maybe /sbin/lspci) and grep for VGA to see what kind of graphics you have, ideally you'll have AMD or NVIDIA graphics -- if you have Intel graphics, there is no proprietary graphics driver, but make sure the xf86-video-intel package is installed.  If OpenSUSE has a proprietary package for your graphics driver, then install it, if not, you'll need to go the vendor's web site, ie., www.amd.com or www.nvidia.com, to get the appropriate driver and manually install it.  The disadvantage of the manual install is that every time you update your system (the kernel or the X11 server), you might need to reinstall the graphics driver.

See https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:ATI_drivers for what to do to get the proprietary AMD/ATI graphics drivers, and see https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers for what to do to get the proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers.  If you don't have one of those, make sure the appropriate xf86-video-* driver installed.

    Good luck!
