More Mac OSX problems

I got the game to work just fine on my PC, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my mac. I searched through other Posts in this forum and followed the instructions for installing SDL and the 2.08 patch. Here is the error message that I get in the console log:

mkdir: No such file or directory
SDL_SetVideoMode failed: Failed creating OpenGL pixel format
N�got gick fel!
Failed to init OpenGL
N�got gick fel!
Failed to init OpenGL

Does anyone have any ideas. I am primarily a PC user, but my mac is an ibook. I'm looking forward to playing Dom2 wherever I might go ;D.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Seems like Dominions isn't able to get a 800x600 double buffered screen for OpenGL. Try running it with this switch -w and see if it runs better in a window. Otherwise you could try --res 640 400 and maybe you will get lucky there.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try that when I get home and let everyone know how it works out.

Uhmmm... As I am not primarily a mac user perhaps a friendly person could explain to me how to set switches for the application on a mac. I may be able to figure it out on my own, but then again I may not be able to.

Nope, thought I could figure it out, but I'm totally lost. If anyone can tell me how to set the switch on a mac app I'd really appreciate it.
