 Posted: Mon Jun 28, 2004 6:39 pm Post subject: Quake3 won't run - definite noob question |
 |
|
I'm having trouble getting Quake3 running. When I try to start Quake3 all that seems to happen is that my Gnome desktop changes resolution; all the icons get really big and desktop gets too large for my screen (I have to scroll up and down and side to side to see the whole thing). I don't see any errors nor do I see the Quake3 console starting.
This is the the first game I've tried running on Gentoo.
I have an Nvidia Gforce4Ti video card. I installed the Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia web site. Ran opengl-update.
I did emerge quake3-urbanterror, which installs the Quake3 point releases. Then I copied the pk0 file from the Quake3 CD to the appropriate directory then ran Quake3. I am in the games group.
Am I missing something? What should I try next to trouble shoot? |

Run glxinfo and look for the line that says 'direct rendering: ' and a yes or a no. You want it to say yes  . This will tell you that your drivers are in fact working correctly. Next, I would run quake3 from a terminal to see the output it gives. I could simply be a problem grabbing your sound card. I've had that happen before. |

Did you emerge the drivers, or install the .run from the website?
Gentoo has no idea about the drivers if you install them from the .run on the site, and thus opengl-update nvidia wouldn't do anything. Also, did you edit your XF86Config at all? Read the lgfaq link in my signature for information on identifying if your opengl even works at the moment. |

does
chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia*
chown root /dev/nvidia*
do anything useful for ya?
also i suggest using
emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
opengl-update nvidia
to install the drivers.

I used the XFree86 -configure command to configure XF86Config. The only thing I edited in XF86Config was my mouse settings. |

| You need to read the documentation included with the nvidia drivers pertaining to editing your XF86Config, specifically the bit about changing the driver from nv to nvidia. |

Finally had a chance to work on this... Looks like I have a GLX problem:

Anyone have any ideas? Sorry for such a long post. |

If I run Quake3 as SU I get the same error. I'm not at home at the moment so I can't try chmoding 777 on pak0.pk3, chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia*, or chown root /dev/nvidia. If those were the problems shoudn't quake3 or glxinfo work as root?
Edit: Added last question.

I don't know in gnome, but in kde my problem was in the same manner, the problem was audio system
Resolution:
a) start startx manually without kdm ...
or
b) in kde start quake with artsdsp -m ./quake3.x86 |

I'm still not able to get GLX working. Did I mention I don't see the Nvidia logo when starting Gnome?
Maybe this had somthing to do with it? From my XFree86 log: (WW) NVIDIA(0): OpenGL is only supported in depths 16 and 24
| Code: | (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libfb.a
(II) Module fb: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.3.0.1, module version = 1.0.0
ABI class: XFree86 ANSI C Emulation, version 0.2
(II) Loading sub module "ramdac"
(II) LoadModule: "ramdac"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libramdac.a
(II) Module ramdac: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.3.0.1, module version = 0.1.0
ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6
(WW) NVIDIA(0): OpenGL is only supported in depths 16 and 24
(II) do I need RAC? No, I don't. |
If so how do you set the depth to 16 or 24? I thought I had done that in my X config file above. |

Option "DefaultDepth" "24"
If I recally correctly. It goes above your resolutions and depths. You should nuke the non 16/24 depth areas anyway. |
