Im having problems installing quake 2. I checked older threads in this forum but they don't seem to address my problem.

 

I use urpmi to get package: Name: quake2 Version: 3.21_r0.15-2plf

 

I then copy the entire baseq2 directory to /usr/share/games/quake2/baseq2 (including the pak files)

and I execute /usr/games/quake2.bin and I get this error

 

------- sound initialization -------

/dev/dsp: Input/output error

SNDDMA_Init: Could not mmap /dev/dsp.

------- Loading ref_softx.so -------

LoadLibrary("ref_softx.so") failed: No such file or directory

Refresh failed

recursive shutdown

Error: Couldn't fall back to software refresh

 

 

Please help! I have a new computer with a 256 meg NVIDIA card and I just wanna play a couple games on what is otherwise an amazing OS.

 

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated

Ok well, I got it running without sound... all I did was add a few other packages from the PLF in URPMI and it ran!

 

Now i need sound :(

 

I take it this error is stopping me from getting sound?

 

------- sound initialization -------

/dev/dsp: Input/output error

SNDDMA_Init: Could not mmap /dev/dsp.

 

 

Anyone know the solution?
