UT : No dynamic GL support in video driver

Message

uraes · Post by **uraes** » Fri Jul 23, 2004 7:33 am

Hi,

Yesterday I did "emerge -u world" (updated to kde323) and now my UT (4.51) gives error "No dynamic GL support in video driver". Weird thing is that glxgears and UT2003 is working well!

Updated also nvidia driver to 6106 but it didn't help (from nvidia page - NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run)

Don't know, does it give some information, but I also unmerged my nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel from my system (because anyway I used by hand installed nvidia kernel and driver). I don't want to remerge nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx (because there is old driver and because it messes up /usr/lib/libGL* links)

Can somebody say something about it? How to get ut working again?

k, ive no real solution for you, but just look at this threat

playing ut with wine is a very nice solution, the native version is really too buggy

it runs quite good and youve got support for the eax-pack

(im using cedega, maybe eax wont run with wine)

i've never had any problems with it - i think it's not buggy at all.

my copy kept running when fellow clan-members had to restart their windows copy.

uraes: perhaps you enabled something windows-specific in your ini?

you maybe have noticed some dark spot in some maps (deck16 at the curve for example), the soundoutput is wired, you cant use the numpad (k, that not running with cedega either, but its a bug since it workes in win), and so on...

wine is good but it should be a last thing to try.. this ut 4.51 runned till yesterday wery correctly and no problems at all. Jeah, if no other ways I'll try wine, but before I need to know what happened...

That's the weird thing - I changed nothing at all. only did emerge that added new version of KDE.

There has been once earlier conflict between "nvidia installer" and "emerge nvidia" when one linked /usr/X11R6/lib/libMesa.. to one version and /usr/lib/libGL* files were pointing to another version of driver (thats why I dont want anymore to use emerge nvidia*) but this time it's all ok, all files are linked to correct versions. I'm sure, if to do clean install everything will be ok.. but where to look to find changes?

neenee · Post by **neenee** » Fri Jul 23, 2004 10:38 am

a clean install would be a last resort.

have you tried out cleaning the nvidia drivers you now have and
using 'emerge nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel ; modprobe nvidia' ?

Emerging latest version of drivers (with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS) it gives some weird writting error. Trying now install those old 4496 drivers again

perhaps you could share with us the error you see when you emerge the 6106 drivers?

looks like a problem with your kernel headers.

are you sure you are using 2.6 headers?

(emerge linux26-headers)

uraes · Post by **uraes** » Mon Jul 26, 2004 8:22 am

Upgraded to linux26-headers, remerged glibc, gcc, updated to kernel 2.6.7, emerged nvidia-kernel and glx (1.0.6106 and 1.0.6106-r3) but no changes..
UT gives still error (No dynamic GL support in video driver) as in same time ut2003 and glxgears are running without problems..

I have noticed, that some other people have similar problems after latest kde upgrade.. so I tried run UT under fluxbox but still GL error..
So.. any sugestions?

neenee · Post by **neenee** » Mon Jul 26, 2004 11:55 am

um... i have never heard of the problem, so i can only
guess.. i'll think on it a bit more and report back.

uraes · Post by **uraes** » Tue Jul 27, 2004 6:42 am

Yesterday I downgraded my xfree (to x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5) but no changes.. still "no GL suport..."

If I could find out what other packages were installed on that day I could try others also downgrade.. but how to find out those? I studied qpkg command, but seems that it doesn't give out date when package was installed.. any ideas?

You shoulde emerge the stable 4496 nvidia drivers and opengl-update nvidia. You might also file a bug report at bugs.gentoo.org if it doesn't work with the 6106 as well.

I'm afraid it's not problem of nvidida, because before I had (manually installed) nvidia driver 5336 and everything was ok. Problems started on last Thurstay (22.07.2004) when I upgraded kde and smth else (what I don't remember anymore). And glxgears and ut2003 works also fine.. nvidia upgrade was also done after problems started.

If your glxinfo says it's running the nvidia libs and glxgears is good to go then a reemerge of UT 4.51 is in order. If that doesn't work then switch to the mesa GL extension for X and try it. If that works then there is a bug in nvidia-glx.

uraes · Post by **uraes** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 9:55 am

Uh! Problem is solved.

Code: Select all

emerge libsdl

I just reemerged libsdl and UT is again working! Got the idea from here

Thanks guys!

I had the same problem with America's Army.

Works after that remerge.

Happy happy joy joy
