Greg2 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) 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) [greg@halfway ~]$ glxinfo |grep OpenGL OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 7300 GT/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW!

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? Edited November 21, 2007 by Greg2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
