Guest verden01 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 I have NVidia drivers installed on M/D 9.1 and see the NVidia logo when i boot up but i can't play Tuxracer at all? I thought it would work with the 3D drivers installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 It should. maybe try reinstalling tuxracer? Don't know what else. Are you using current drivers or the default ones that came with 9.1? you might try updateing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest verden01 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 well since i used those commands and also rebooted Tuxracer now starts from the menu? Don't ask me why its doing it now but hey thanks for all the help it was appreciated very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 no problem, and if you have an athlon-xp cpu there are some game rpms in the downloads section of this site that you may like. egoboo - a cute little 3d dungeon crawl. tuxcart - tux on a cart racing flightgear - a realistic flight sim only get these if you have a athlon-xp cpu otherwise they wont work on your computer. If you have another cpu type you can still get these games. edit: athlon xp rpms ftp://ftp.mandrakeusers.com/pub/AthlonXP/...2mdk.athlon.rpm ftp://ftp.mandrakeusers.com/pub/AthlonXP/...3mdk.athlon.rpm ftp://ftp.mandrakeusers.com/pub/AthlonXP/...3mdk.athlon.rpm standard i586 rpms: ftp://ftp.mandrakeusers.com/pub/Contrib/R...2-1mdk.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions...1-3mdk.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions...0-3mdk.i586.rpm there are more free games that this. a fairly good listing is here thanks to DOlson http://icculus.org/~dolson/mdkxp/?c=games/freegames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest verden01 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Will these games work with a Duron 1GHz proccessor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Yeah. I'd just get the i586 RPMs. You won't notice any difference, and they will run on a Duron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 From 1GHz on Durons are the same as Athlons, just with less cache. The slower durons are like the old athlons (T-birds, not tbreds), they lack the intel SSE SIMD instructions, there you need the i586 code, but I agree with DOlson, if you take the i586 it works anyway...
