Doom 3 crashes with Mandriva 2008 [solved]

[Greg2]

I assembled my first 64-bit pc this past weekend, and installed Mandriva 2008 i586 on it. Last night I installed Doom3 on it to see how well my new graphics card worked. Here's some info from my system

[greg@halfway ~]$ cat /etc/release
Mandriva Linux release 2008.0 (Official) for i586
[greg@halfway ~]$ uname -a
Linux halfway 2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 04:07:04 CEST 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ GNU/Linux
[greg@halfway ~]$ lspci |grep nVidia
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7300 GT] (rev a1)

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 7300 GT/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW!
OpenGL version string: 2.1.1 NVIDIA 100.14.19

It starts to load up the menus and crashes with the following error.

[greg@halfway ~]$ doom3

I've started it with

doom3 +set developer 1 +set logfile 1

and used strace, but have not found any useful info in the log files to help me fix this.

 

Does anyone here have Doom3 running with Mandriva 2008 using a 64-bit processor? I should add that I had this working on my old 32-bit system using Mandriva 2008. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?

If I understood that correctly you have a 64 bit processor, but you are running MDV 2008 32-bit version?

I have Intel core 2 E6400 (64 bit processor) running MDV 2008 Free 32-bit. I've got an MSI NX7600GT-T2D256EZ NVidia graphics card.

 

I don't have Doom3 currently installed, but I do run Quake4 and it's running beautifully. No problems at all and the graphics are awsome. I'm sorry - don't know what's causing all that, but I can only say that Q4 works nicely. I believe they are using the same engine. I do have Doom3, but haven't tried it since upgrading to MDV 2008. Doom3 worked perfectly with MDV 2007, though.

 

This is how I did it in MDV2007: http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/doom/

I run doom3 on my system, but it is all running 32 bit and not 64 bit. I have an SLi setup using 2 GeForce7600 cards. SLi is a bit tricky in Linux, but it does work.

OK, it's working now.

 

When I copied the ~/.doom3/base and the ~/.doom3/d3xp directories from my old system to my new system, I missed removing an old config file from the d3xp directory. It was picking it up when my new doom3 installation tried to start, even though I wasn't trying to start ROE.

 

Thanks for your input guys. Doom3 looks a lot better with my GeForce 7300 GT than it did with my old GeForce4 4200. :D
