dalee Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 I've installed it just fine. But when I go to run it, the splash screen and sound comes up fine, and I can even access the menu. But after about 30-40 seconds I get this error: Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed) $ /usr/games/../share/games/heretic/musserver: error reading mesg. pipe Any ideas on what to do to fix? I have an nVidia chipset for my video card, but I'm using the stock driver (been working fine). Maybe switch to nVidia's own driver? Compile from source? I do have the xHeretic installed and working, but I think I would prefer the glHeretic. Thanks Much! dalee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 well if it uses opengl then nvidias own driver is a must if you want decent performance how to install http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=4567 Of course that error message may have absolutely nothing to do with your graphics card drivers.

dalee Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Yeah I'm kinda thinking that too. I tried to compile the program, but got some errors. I'll have to figure them out later. dalee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Well, yeah, you need 3D drivers, not the default 2D-only drivers. The "GL" part should have tipped you off about that. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalee Posted April 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Yeah your right, I was thinking that the stock drivers had the support. Some times it's the really simple parts I don't get . dalee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
