 |
|
I recently emerged the new xorg-x11 and followed the instructions to teh letter, everything works, the GLXGears example too so theoretically opengl should work too but whenever I try to run quake3 I get this error:
| Code: |

I have an nVidia GF2 mx 100/200 and I tried to use this software rendering that is mentioned above but that gave horrible results. |

I don't think he's interested in playing Q3 with software-rendering...
Did you install the nvidia-driver ?
Which Kernel / nvidia-driver combination do you have ?
Give some more information, maybe we can help you. |

Didn't read the last sentence, sorry 
But actually, the problem isn't about Q3 as the topic implies but about OpenGL and X.org. |

nvidia-glx and 2.6.0 kernel.
but because I used xorg-x11 I follwed the install and switched to its opengl interface.
But I then recalled I used to use nvidias opengl and not X's.
I swiched back to nvidia's opengl interface and apparently it seems to work |

Try
| Code: |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel
|
This will install the 2.6 compatible nvidia-drivers.
Or install them manually [ Version 5336 ]. This should help. |

(refused to boot)
and yes I recompiled X (xorg-x11-6.7.0) |
