Franz:
Hi all, the game compiled and installed fine, but it won't run. What I get in the terminal is this:

You need 3D hardware accelerated, OpenGL capable video card and driver for UFO:AI. Which video card and driver you use?

Thanks for the reply.

I use an AMD 4870 with the latest open source drivers.

geever:
I would try the closed-source driver from AMD, maybe the OSS driver cannot yet support the card fully.

Hi Franz

did you solve the problem?

I've the same issue with UFO-AI, gentoo and my AMD HD 8690M but I'd prefer not to install any closed driver. (I already hate to have binary blobs in Linux to have 3d working)

I want to say also this package seems to be not to well maintained in gentoo.
https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/games-strategy/ufo-ai

we are using an old version (2.4) the 2.5 version was removed due to lack of maintenance.

cheers
