Guest jtwatson Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 I have the NVidia Gforce4 MX440 card working with the drivers from the club and a little fix in the X11 config (nv -> nvidia). All seems to work great :) Now I want to get Quake 3 Arena working. I have a linux version of the game, so I installed from the cd, and applied the 1.32 point release that I downloaded. All this with no errors, nothing odd. Then I set my color depth to 16bit and tryed to start quake 3, but it fails with the following output. Q3 1.32 linux-i386 Oct 7 2002 ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /home/jtwatson/.q3a/baseq3 /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak8.pk3 (9 files) /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak7.pk3 (4 files) /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak6.pk3 (64 files) /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak5.pk3 (7 files) /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak4.pk3 (272 files) /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak3.pk3 (4 files) /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak2.pk3 (148 files) /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak1.pk3 (26 files) /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3 (3539 files) /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3 ./quake3.x86/baseq3 ---------------------- 4073 files in pk3 files execing default.cfg execing q3config.cfg couldn't exec autoexec.cfg Hunk_Clear: reset the hunk ok ------- Input Initialization ------- Joystick is not active. ------------------------------------ ----- Client Initialization ----- ----- Initializing Renderer ---- ------------------------------- ----- Client Initialization Complete ----- ----- R_Init ----- ...loading libGL.so.1: Initializing OpenGL display ...setting mode 3: 640 480 Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 2.1 XF86DGA Mouse (Version 2.0) initialized XFree86-VidModeExtension Activated at 640x480 Using 4/4/4 Color bits, 16 depth, 0 stencil display.

SoulSe Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 I'm not sure what signal 11 is, but I seem to remember something about sound... are you running any sound servers? It also won't hurt to check your Direct Rendering: Open up a console -> type: glxinfo |more Look for a line that says "Direct Rendering: " Make sure it says "Yes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jtwatson Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 I am not running any sound servers that I know about, just the default KDE setup. I also tried started X using failsafe as the window manager and had the same results. My sound card is a SB Live using ALSA Drivers. I will check the Direct Rendering.

Guest jtwatson Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 The only thing I didn't follow was compiling the rpms, because I could get them from the club. So I guess I will try that to see if it helps. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jtwatson Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I should be reprimanded :( I missed the part about Load "glx" not working. When I used Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so" it was fixed. Thanks johnnyv and DOlson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 DOlson has the good tut not me (i just used it and it worked well for me) but no problem. Enjoy your quake 3 goodness :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 Yes, yes - Enjoy! Hope to blow you to pieces soon! DOlson - I'm coming with those tutorials, it's just so hard to finish them when your editor dumps you, you try to live a real life despite school and work, you have a car accident, and you don't touch your computer much anymore because it's what you do all day! I'll get them done soon, promise. The next month has me less busy anyway. Hopefully in time for your site's overhaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
