Arts is the KDE soundmixer. If your soundcard doesn't do hardware-mixing, and is occupied with an other app. you don't get sound when you don't use a software mixer like arts.

 

the correct command would be :artsdsp -m et

 

or if you need to give the complete path: artsdsp -m /usr/bin(wherever)/et

 

Good luck

 

(this is ofcourse if you use KDE, the sofwaremixer for GNOME is called esd)

devries,

Is there maybe another setting or switch I'm missing? There is serious lag, about 1.5 - 2 seconds before I hear any sound in Enemy Territory.

Is there a way to turn off arts or alsa sound in KDE, then run et?

-SP

Glad it worked, what's the word on your sound in ET?

Found somewhere to use a wrapper:

artsdsp -m /usr/local/games/et

Man, Let me tell you, I'd rather play without audio. There is about a one (1) second delay. Drives you up the wall.

So, basiclly, sound is still an issue. Hopefully someone could help me out. I posted a message in the Games Section, we'll see if someone else has had this issue.

BTW. Thanks for all you help.

-SP

artsdsp -m et(wolf?)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Is that a switch when launching Enemy Territory?

sh et artsdsp -m ? :unsure:

Below is what I get when I launch et

------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: Input/output error
Could not mmap /dev/dsp
------------------------------------
Sound memory manager started

Hey all,

I have a quick question. Finally got my nVidia card running on my new machine with the help from MDK-UB!!!! You guys Rock!!!

But I'm running into some issues with the audio in ETWolf? any advise.

Running:

SY-KT600 DRAGON PLUS v.1.0 - MoBo

On board VIA 1616 (Integrated AC'97 CODEC 6 Channel Audio Chipset) - Audio

I can get UT'04 running great w/audio, :D

AA's running great w/audio, :D

ETWolf runs great, but no audio :sad:

Any Help Would Be Great!!!!!

Thanks,

-SP

:D OK, I've check around the net via mb's nvidia mb's, and found this on nvnews.net:

Re: VIA KT600 chipset lack of support?

Yes, my system is stable. I had to ruin my 80 day uptime just to check the bios settings for you! No problem...

 

The most important thing is to make sure:

 

PCI Delayed Transaction ENABLED

 

I also have:

 

APIC ENABLED

MPS 1.4

 

AGP aperture 64M

AGP Mode 4x

Drive Control AUTO

 

AGP Master 1 WS Write ENABLED

AGP Master 1 WS Read ENABLED

AGP 3.0 Calibration Cycle ENABLED

System Bios Cacheable DISABLED

Video Ram Cacheable DISABLED

 

Hope that helps.

-Jan

After making these changes I started to see other errors... :unsure:

I've seen in several other messages that 2.6 sees the KT600 as part of the KT400 family so that shouldn't be the issue, and it looks like it's finding your AGP stuff just fine. Have you tried setting NVAgp to any of the other values?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Set NVAgp to "2", and the nVidia driver LOADED YES!!

You guys RULE!!!!

BTW: Strange thing UT'04 works just fine....ET has no sound.

Great somethiing else to look into

-SP

FYI:

Ran some commands, saved them to a text file and attached them to this post.

dmesg > dmesg.txt

I don't know if this helps at all!!

You think it has anything to do with the VIA KT600 Chipset? And no native AGP support for Linux? :wacko:

-SP

Do you have the Kernel Source installed? Not sure it really matters but at least it would be something to rule out.

I installed the driver without the kernel source, and it installed without a hitch.

BTW: had an older HP Pavillion 500n reformatted drive(removed winxp) and installed MDK10.  Went out, bought and older cheap-cheap GeForce 400mx PCI (no agp on board). Installed it, downloaded nvidia driver, installed kernel modules, ran nvidia driver (installed perfectly). vim'd XFree86-4 to spec, startx..... WOW worked first time.  happiest newbie in the world    .  Fragin online with Enemy Territory.. NICE!!!!!!

Remembered I had to install the kernel source for this install, so i figured it can't hurt. I urpm'd the kernel source 2.6.3-7 (matching whatever my kernel is, not the 2.4.ish) and reinstalled the driver.

I also installed Mesa thinkin maybe that would install some lib that I'm missing. but still no luck.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

-SP

Nope,

Tried every combination of the above. nothing!!

Please. I really don't want to use this machine in Win XP only, I would really love to be all Linux.

BTW: I installed Suse 9.1 Personal. Same thing won't load the nvidia driver even when I force it to use the NVAgp - 2, 3 any and all combinations. I've been hackin (newbie, don't know if it's really hackin) for the last 3 hours. I'm really fried.

-SP

Wow, you guys here don't mess around here, super fast post, Wow!!

In the "Module" Section below I remove the "#"'s

Section "Module"

Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension

Load "v4l" # Video for Linux

Load "extmod"

Load "type1"

Load "freetype"

Load "glx" # 3D layer

#Load "dri" <- remove #

#Load "GLcore" <- remove #

And in the "Device" Section below I remove the "#"'s, also I replace the Driver "vesa" with Driver "nvidia", and still get the cannot load the GLcore module (EE)??

Section "Device"

Identifier "device1"

#BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700LE" <-remove #

Driver "vesa" <- replace with Driver "nvidia"

Option "DPMS"

#Option "NVAgp" "2" <-remove #

EndSection

Thanks,

Can you post your XF86Config-4 as well?

Here is the XF86Config-4 file:

XF86Config_4.txt

Many Thanks,

-SP

xbob,

Thanks for you help on this, but I'm still getting errors, now it can't load "GLcore"? Sound better, but obviously not working.

here is the XFree86-4.log:

XFree86.0.log.txt

Thanks for all your help, this MB and all it's users are unbelivable.

Hey all, this is a long post, but tried to explain everything I did.

I've been having a really hard time getting my eVGA e-GeForce FX5700LE, 256MB DDR W/TV OUT , DVI, AGP to work with MDK 10.

I just built a new machine:

Motherboard: SY-KT600 DRAGON PLUS v.1.0 - VIA KT600 / 8237 Chipset

Processor: Athlon XP 2500+ 333Mhz FSB

GPU: eVGA e-GeForce FX5700LE, 256MB DDR W/TV OUT , DVI, AGP

Memory: Centon 512MB - 400Mhz DDR400 - Two (2)

Fresh clean install of MDK 10. During the install, the installer doesn't even see my graphics card. It always wants to default to "vesa" I can't even get it to use "nv".

Ran the install twice. Same thing. Anyway, I left the graphics driver to vesa driver, and boot to command prompt. Download and installed the latest nvida driver (no problem), vim'd the /etc/X11/XFree86-4 config file to match the readme file provided with the nvidia driver. Run startx and nothing. blank screen.

I'm lost. Please help.!!!!!

BTW: had an older HP Pavillion 500n reformatted drive(removed winxp) and installed MDK10. Went out, bought and older cheap-cheap GeForce 400mx PCI (no agp on board). Installed it, downloaded nvidia driver, installed kernel modules, ran nvidia driver (installed perfectly). vim'd XFree86-4 to spec, startx..... WOW worked first time. happiest newbie in the world . Fragin online with Enemy Territory.. NICE!!!!!!

I would really love to frag with my new machine, cuz bought UT'04 and really, really, really want to play that.

Thanks All, sorry 'bout the long post

-SP

I've downloaded / burned / installed MDK 10 C. I've noticed that everything is working great (and faster), but when I go out to the internet, I've noticed a drastic lag in querying web sites, and mozilla seems to take alot longer in rendering every page.

I went out and downloaded FireFox, installed it, and seems to be a little better, but I still notice the difference.

Anyone else see this or am I just going Loco!!

-SP

Edit: moved from Tips & Tricks by spinynorman

I'm in the market to start looking for a 3D card for my Linux box at home. Really don't know what to buy.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW This would be my first rodeo, so looking for the easiest way to start playin these great games!!

Thanx
