Hi all, I recently installed doom3 on my mandriva 2005 setup and can't get it running.
When I start it up, the screen will go black like its starting, then flash back to my desktop.
Below is what I get in the terminal window. Any ideas what the problem is? I had this game
working perfectly on 10.0 and never had problems. Thanks for any info.

Well that was easy, I just installed the latest Nvidia drivers and I'm good to go.
Doh!!!

Yup, no drivers = no hardware rendering = no games
