I had the same problem a while back, and I eventually discovered that it was because I forgot to compile DGA support into XFree86.
Add 'dga' to your USE variables and recompile xorg-x11. Your mouse should work properly in Quake 2 after that. |

I had these problems a little while back, I eventually did get quake2-icculus working...sort of, the video menu was still screwed up. I'd recommend using Quake2Forge, It's not in portage, but an ebuild can be found here http://nightgrave.computed.net/index.php?page=code It should work, if you have any problems, I can try to get them working  It may be something related to the sound driver, I have the instructions included in with the ebuild (When it's finished it'll display a message about what to do) Good luck on getting this to work  |

DGA is an option in X.
| Quote: | | Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension |
look for that in your config and remove that line. DGA module should be loaded at next X startup. |

Try running the game with these (obviously if you don't have alsa, alsa won't work):
quake2 +set snddriver sdl
quake2 +set snddriver oss
quake2 +set snddriver alsa
I think the parameter is snddriver, I could be wrong, I haven't used quake2-icculus in a while... Good luck |

tried all those.. did not work...
i checked the startup messages and it says something about not being able to connect to the sound aRts daemon...
which i believe is the KDE sound daemon... though im running fluxbox... and yes aRts is installed as I run some KDE apps...
anymore ideas?
Thanks in advance. |

nevermind figured it out.. since I do not run KDE and I run fluxbox... I have to start arts when I startx.. i just created a script for this containing the following...
| Code: | | artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -a alsa -s 60 -m artsmessage -c drkonqi -l 3 -f |
..now sound works in quake2 with the alsa driver... |

If you don't want to have to use arts, recompile quake2-icculus without arts.
| Code: | | # USE="-arts" emerge quake2-icculus |
I'm guessing then you won't need to have arts running, as it may cause trouble with other sounds in the future. |

After you recompiled without ARTS support? Hmm, I guess you might as well recompile with arts support, and just use it like that. Did you compile with SDL support? Maybe that has something to do with it... (You'd have to choose the sdl sound driver then as a parameter) Personally I use Quake2Forge, you could always give that a try if you want to, that works fully for me, using the SDL sound driver, and xorg's nvidia drivers (Since the official drivers don't work with sound for some reason) That could also be something you could try, if you were to use Quake2Forge, I'm not sure how to do it in quake2-icculus. |

this is problematic with alsa and oss emulation. see http://www.alsa-project.org/~iwai/OSS-Emulation.html for explanation and workaround.
| Quote: | | As default, ALSA emulates the OSS PCM with so-called plugin layer, i.e. tries to convert the sample format, rate or channels automatically when the card doesn't support it natively. This will lead to some problems for some applications like quake or wine, especially if they use the card only in the MMAP mode. |

You can use the console to set those.
set vid_fullscreen 1/0
set vid_ref (soft, softx, gl, sdlgl, glx)
set gl_mode # (where # is a number representing a resolution. 1 is 320x240 I think, 6 is 1024x768, etc.)
You can probably toss those into an autoexec.cfg file in your ~/.quake2/baseq2 directory.
As for sound... I dunno. I never use aRTS, and currently use kernel 2.6 with ALSA built-in. I do remember editing the makefile for the CVS version of Icculus-q2, and that included some variables you could change to compile in ALSA support, enhanced "qmax" graphics, and such... |

install arts...
then make a script called arts or whatever you want to call it.
it should contain:
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -a alsa -s 60 -m artsmessage -c drkonqi -l 3 -f |
su to root and place it in the /usr/bin directory
in your .xinitrc(located in your home dir) add | Code: | | exec <script name> & |
before the window manager loads mine looks like this
| Code: | exec gdesklets &
exec arts & <--- arts is what I called my script
exec fluxbox |
load up quake2 and you should have sound...
as far as getting quake2 running fullscreen glx... I have had no success with that either...
I run quake2 in 1024x768 and my laptop's native resolution is 1280x800... quake 2 does run in default openGL mode but does not resize my desktop and run fullscreen... instead it runs in a 1024x768 window even with r_fullscreen set to 1... and i can still see part of my background... although my mouse is locked to the window until I exit quake 2...
if anyone has a fix to this i'd be interested to hear it.. THANKS!!
[EDIT] FIXED: I forgot a " in my xorg.conf that would not allow resolutions to change.. i had "1280x800 1024x768" instead of "1280x800" "1024x768" DOH!! |
