well i fixed the problem, turns out this is a sound error, but in any case i modified the config file so that sound/music = #f for false and supertux now runs, so i went to options and re-enabled the sound/music (in game) and it works fine, so i closed it, re-ran it... works fine... sooo weird, all i really did was manually modify the config to disable sound, then enable it from the game menu... :S well w/e, i won't argue with results... go supertux!! :D

HMM, apparently my post was moved lol.. god im tired, anyways like 3 threads below is another supertux thread, however it DOES NOT fix my problem... i made that config file and now it can read it but still crashes: Datadir: /usr/share/games/supertux Warning: No joysticks are available. Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

here is what the console says: Datadir: /usr/share/games/supertux Warning: Unable to open the file "/home/neil/.supertux/config" for read!!! Warning: No joysticks are available. Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

nvidia splashes, yes glxgears works and reports 10K+, yes will try from "CLI", console? kk

Ya, what gives!? this is a fresh install and all i have done is: 1. install nvidia drivers 2. install java 3. install cedega 4. tried to play supertux :( (FAILED) it just starts loading then goes to change the resolution and what not, but then ends up back at the desktop, ALL the other games work except supertux.. :( [moved from Software by spinynorman]

well after pushing the "auto" button on my lcd a few times it has now focussed properly and works at 60/70hz. I thought the auto button just made the screen fit properly, well i learned something new lol. Just happy i don't have to RMA the lcd :)

like i said above, and i guess have to say again, their ISN'T a selection for 1024x768 @ 75hz, there is 70/74/76... Also, i dont know much about lcd's but my screen is blurry at 60/70, it is only clear at 75hz... does that mean it needs repairs? this stupid thing is brand new so i have 3 yr warranty left on it, it's blurry in windows too @ 60/70hz, should i RMA it?

im running Mandriva 2006 official, i HAD it working @ 75hz, but i chaged my video card, so since i had nothing to lose i just did a fresh install, installed my nvidia drivers, and still no go.. Why don't they have a 1024x768 @ 75hz LCD as an option? :| like there is, 70/74/76/86 all these weird ones.. but not 75 which i have seen is standard. Can anyone help me? i tried setting it to "50-75" vertical refresh in the xf86 config using "vi", also i have set "50-70" using configure hardware wizard and customizing my display. Someone please help me :)

bump, ok mouse scroll doesnt entirely not work, but instead of scrolling the page it will scroll thru page history back and forth, also it still isnt booting into init 5 (kde) on its own which isnt a huge deal, but little things tend to bother me and ESPECIALLY the mouse thing, havent had to manually scroll since Win95/98 days *shutters*...

native driver? just the general FX driver? hmm, it doesnt work good for me? i get only like 300fps in glxgears using it, now i get 33-3800 fps in glxgears but thats still not close to enough.

fyi this is after nvidia driver installation ....

real great =/, now other things dont work... i did a reboot and it wont boot into x windows, so i just logged in through the console then ran "kde", now my mouses scroll doesnt work... and who knows what else dont work now... grrr

ok so the drivers run very crappily, im only getting ~3500 fps in glxgears and well i dl'd the UT2K4 demo and its very glitchy, anyone reccomend how i can speed things up? my system is more than powerful enough, im running: Athlon 2500+ 1gig DDR GeForce FX5700 256mb

Java: installed the rpm from www.java.com then proceeded to copy the plugin # su # pwd # cd / # cd usr/lib/firefox/plugins # ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so then i restart firefox and still nothing :(

k well i fixed it, i didnt know i had the kernel sources on my installation DVD, now should i go to the software forum for java?
