First off, Wolfenstine:Enemy Territory works
Doom 3 doesn't, and neither does tvtime (and they might be related)

not sure what else to give you atm. I've tried uncommenting dri, and commenting the omit XFree86-DGA bit, to no effect. I've tried scouring the web, but to no avail, so I'm shoving stuff up here and hoping you guys can make it all work for me  |

ok, adding:
Load "extmod" has fixed tvtime.
It removed one error from the doom3 message:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DGA" missing on display ":0.0".
but otherwise looks the same and fails to load (I've tried xorg.conf with both the omit xfree line commented and uncommented |

It says its unable to initialize opengl...
| Quote: | | Was in fatal error shutdown: Unable to initialize OpenGL |
Did you do:
| Code: | | opengl-update nvidia |
Also did you install the nvidia-glx too?
Also you migh want to try the 7664 drivers. They make my card run cooler and it supports opengl version 2.0.

I know this might sound stupid but it might work. I had a similar problem with doom3 at first with this line:
| Quote: | GetLocalAddress failed: gethostbyname failed: A temporary error occurred on a
uthoritative name server. Try again later. |
In your /etc/hosts do you have a line that looks somewhat like this:
| Code: | | 127.0.0.1 localhost (your hostname) |
That cured that one problem I had with doom3. Also there is a newer version of doom3 out, why don't you also try upgrading to it. I beleive its 1.3 I don't know the exact numbers because I'm at work.

Thanks Master Shake, that appears to have fixed that network problem (OpenGL still there  ).
This is a reasonably recent emerge for doom3 - how recent is this latest version? will a --sync followed by an emerge doom3 grab it? |

No your going to have to unmask it....I don't know why it is masked because it is perfectly stable and emerges well. Why don't you try emerging the lastest drivers and the lastest version of doom3 and see if that just magically cures things...btw are you doing a cdinstall with emerge because if your not that could be what your problem is.

define "cdinstall"
I copied over all the files that were given in the instructions at the end of the emerge from the cd(s), if thats what you mean. |

cdinstall is a use variable for doom3. Did you do a
| Code: | | USE="cdinstall" emerge doom3 |

ok, did a cdinstall, same problem.
However, once I'd figured out how to get them, the latest drivers fixed the problem  |
