hanez Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 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 Gino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanez Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-tech Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 I used the PLF rpms aand also has some horrific problems. I figured out I needed SDL Quake. Thats what I am using now and it works great!! You could try installing using this http://icculus.org/quake2/installers/iccul...ake2-cdless.run This also worked for me. Hope this helps.

hanez Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Yeah, all I needed to do was run /usr/games/sdlquake2 instead of /usr/games/quake2 Mandrake rules..... THanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
