I have never used ALSA in my gentoo installation (USE="-ALSA"), I use the emu10k1 OSS drivers, and it stills segfaults.
I have tried updating everything (sdl-perl, libsdl, X, frozen-bubble, perl) to the latest version, but the segfaults are still there.
I remember it used to run fine before december... |

So just to resume a bit. Do we have any solution for now? Anyone working on this? It's been almost 2 months now... For the people that have it working, what did you do?
Would be great to play Frozen Bubble again I know it's not an easy problem though. Thanks to all who worked or are working on the problem BTW. |

I have tried almost everything mentioned in this thread short of hte emerge --emptytree thing, and the game still doesn't work for me. I really don't feel like wasting my computer for a day or more compiling all of that over again just for a game, although I must say I've been tempted |

I recently did a clean install of Gentoo. Frozen-bubble still doesn't work.

Ok, so I lied...I did the emerge --emptytree anyway. Anyhow, not only does frozen-bubbles still not work, but the emerge screwed up my fonts in konsole. I searched the forums and found this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=23757&highlight=konsole
My problem is exactly the same. Grrrr... |

I have had also segfaults with frozen-bubble 
After searching the net for this problem I found the solution!
Apparently the problem is the nvidia driver! Switching back to the nv driver gives you a running frozen-bubble! Unbelievable, isn't it? I hope this will get fixed either by nvidia or frozen-bubble.
This is really weird...
ps: i was using nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123-r2 |

Interesting...is anyone using the 1.0.4191 driver with frozen-bubbles by chance? |

that's what I'm trying to do, and it's segfaulting.
I'll try it with the nv driver soon. hmm, it also crashed on a vnc session, and that doesn't use the nvidia driver.... |

I changed to the nv driver and commeted out 'Load "glx"' and I still get a segfault. I was using nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123-r2. |

ok I'm running that driver with segfaults, I changed my config to use nv and restarted X and it crashed, rebooted (make sure the module was never loaded) and it still crashed.
I would say that the nvidia driver isn't the problem, but I could be wrong... |

ok, first make sure that you run:
| Code: |
# opengl-update xfree
|
and second, the glx module must be loaded in your XF86Config. It segfaults without.
I hope I could help. Possible, that this is no driver issue, but this "hack" works for me. |

This worked for me. Thanks your help. Obviously not the best solution in the world, but it works for now. |

So, maybe, we can hope that nvidia will fixes this bug !

Well you have to be running as root, and have the package 'x11-base/opengl-update' installed. |

| Heh good I thought I was the only one that couldn't run this. Hopefully they find a fix for it pretty soon, it's a great game, tons of fun, and fun to show off to my Windows friends. |

So the bottom line is, if you are using the Nvidia-kernel and glx stuff, you need to run | Code: | | opengl-update xfree |
as root to play frozen bubble. I was getting the SDL error and using the above solution works for me.

And I'm guessing this returns to the Nvidia drivers?
| Code: |
opengl-update nvidia

Yes, correct.
Does anybody have a working Frozen Bubble with the Nvidia drivers?
If so, which version of the drivers?

if I type "opengl-update xfree" before starting frozen-bubble it works but hangs in the game menu if I click on 1 player game, when I type opengl-update nvidia I have the segmention fault again ;(

I'm running NV drivers (3123) and frozen bubbles works perfectly for me. I'm using ALSA, perl 5.8.0.
I'm *not* using, Gnome, or KDE. I'm running this on flux. Maybe something going on with WM's is the issue. Has anyone tried contacting the author and directing him here? |

Currently I'm using KDE 3.1_rc6 with the Nvidia drivers 4191. The opengl-update xfree solution works great for me...I don't even have to restart X with the nv driver. I had the same problems back with the 3123 drivers and kde 3.0.5. I can't think of any reason other than the GL drivers themselves being at fault. The way I see it, everyone will probably either have to wait for nvidia to fix whatever problem there is, or for the auther of frozen-bubbles to see if they can fix the code to work with nvidia drivers. I wonder if having the KDE use flag somehow created a dependancy for one of the libraries involved with frozen-bubbles such that opengl libraries would screw it up. |

my drivers...
nvidia-glx 1.0.3123
nvidia-kernel 1.0.3123-r2
alsa-driver 0.9.0_rc6
and perl perl-5.8.0-r9
and I use fluxbox too but it doesn` t work ;(
/edit
now it works but I have to change the driver in XF86Config to "nv" and "opengl-update xfree" but that isn`t comfortable, because I`m playing other games like quake3 and for this game I need the NV drivers...
