Everytime I start quake2(eithver with sdlquake2 or just quake2) it starts in a little window on my screen(using software rendering), and when I enter the Video options dialog, it crashes:

However, if I add "set vid_ref glx" to my ~/.quake2/baseq2/config.cfg file, it will start full screen using GLX. But it still crashes when entering the Video dialog, so I can't switch resolutions, which sucks 'cause I don't want to play it in 640x860.

I have a GeForce FX 5600, and I'm using the 1.0.5328 nVIDIA driver.

i can confirm that, i have the same problem. Also using the latest nvidia drivers.

Hopefully someone has a solution.

Btw, I was at first using xfree-4.3.99.902, but I tried downgrading, but that didn't change anything. I have also tried switching do nVIDIA drivers 1.0.4496 with no luck.

Try with +set gl_driver libGL.so in the commandline. You could also try with +set gl_mode 4

Code: Select all

./quake2 +set gl_driver libGL.so +set gl_mode 4 [your options]

It's most probably not the nvidia drivers.

What files did you use? And did you update quake2?

Did you use NoCheat?

NoCheat is a good package that makes quake2 more error tolerant and fixes some opengl errors in quake2. I really recommend it.

No, all permissions are correct, I used the quake2-data ebuild which copied the files from my cd and set correct permissions.

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/share/games/quake2-data/
total 1,0K

If I use "+set gl_driver libGL.so", I can see it works because image quality is alot better, but the "+set gl_mode 4" doesn't do anything, I still get the same little window on my screen.

EDIT: Ok, it works if I also use "+set vid_ref glx" , but this is still just a temporary solution to my(and a few others) problem....

The only thing I did to install Quake2 was "emerge quake2-icculus quake2-data" so no, didn't update it or use NoCheat.
