UT video problems

Recommended Posts

I have a rage moblility video card on my laptop and just installed UT on itusing the 436 version installer, but also the 428(i wanted it as simple as possible because my windows machines have never installed the patches and just used the original cd version) but both have the same problem. The two video settings I can choose are glide or opengl and both have the error:

 

appError called:

Couldn't initialize SDL: No available video device

 

When i saw this i went to harddrake and saw that my video card was not only installed but configured perfectly. I'm not sure what to do about it and would love to play UT in linux.

 

Any suggestions?
