 |
|
Hi. I'm pretty sure I got 3D acceleration going on my ATI card, I followed the guide on the Wiki (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers). I get fairly good FPS under glxgears:
| Code: | bash-2.05b$ glxgears
8679 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1735.800 FPS
9350 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1870.000 FPS
9351 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1870.200 FPS
9351 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1870.200 FPS
9353 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1870.600 FPS
Broken pipe |
And when I type fglrxinfo I get:
| Code: | fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9600 Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.5010 (X4.3.0-8.12.10) |
So I'm pretty sure it works.
But, when I run et it doesn't work, and when I type "et +set r_allowSoftwareGL 1" it starts, but is extremely slow. 1 FPS slow or so. I also tried running WoW when I had it installed via Point2Play and it was extremely slow.
I'm running 2005.0 AMD64, if that helps any. I hope someone can help me, I honostly don't know what the problem is. 
If you need more information about my computer, just ask. This is all that I can think of to post at the moment.
P.S. I followed the troubleshooting on the guide, and I still had the same results as above.

I used to have your problem and all I do now is
LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/modules/dri et
when running et.
The problem you have is because you're running a 32bit ET against 64bit OpenGL libraries, that line should fix it. |

Hi, thanks alot. That worked great for me. Didn't try actually playing ET yet, but when I got into the menu for ET, it was much faster than before.
Question though, is there some way to set a variable or something to tell games to always use that? Because I don't particularly want to do that for every game I run, especially in Point2Play.
Again, thanks alot.  |
