 Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2006 7:31 pm Post subject: quake3 won't start. says only direct renderinng available. |
 |
|
i have a radeon 9250 video card. the last one supported by xorg-x11 drivers. i have direct rendering enabled:
| Code: |
mark@expresso ~ $ glxinfo | egrep '^direct|^OpenGL'
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 20040929 AGP 1x TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 6.2.1
OpenGL extensions:
|
glxgears seems to indicate it's doing direct rendering:
| Code: |
mark@expresso ~ $ glxgears
6053 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1210.600 FPS
7552 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1510.400 FPS
7630 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1526.000 FPS
7673 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1534.600 FPS
Broken pipe
|
tuxracer works fine. starting quake3 gives the following:
| Code: |
...loading libGL.so.1: Initializing OpenGL display
...setting mode 3: 640 480
Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 2.2
XF86DGA Mouse (Version 2.0) initialized
XFree86-VidModeExtension Activated at 640x480
Using 4/4/4 Color bits, 16 depth, 0 stencil display.
GL_RENDERER: Mesa GLX Indirect
***********************************************************
You are using software Mesa (no hardware acceleration)!
Driver DLL used: libGL.so.1
If this is intentional, add
"+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1"
to the command line when starting the game.
***********************************************************
|
and when i set the flag they mention, quake3 starts but is unusable. it worked better on my r128 card. |

This works for me

Mesa 6.2.1 ? Latest is 6.5..
Which kernel version do you have ?
Also does your MB support AGP 1x only ? |

i don't know why it shows mesa 6.2.1. i don't even have mesa installed? reading the guide, i just need kernel radeon driver, and agp enabled in the kernel. i've posted the output of glxinfo, and dri is enabled. i did have an nvidia card installed, and quake3 was working fine with that. i bought a radeon card because i thought the opensource drivers would be easier than the nvidia driver. with nvidia, my display always looked horible until i installed the closed drivers. anyway, i ran the opengl-update to switch from nvidia back to xorg-x11. that said it worked ok.
my motherboard supports 4x and 8x agp. it's a tyan S2875ANRF with dual opteron processors. i believe it has a
AMD agp chipset. the menuconfig doesn't let me select a chipset for the agpgart, and agp is compiled into the kernel. i can't even select it as a module. here's the kernel version
| Code: | expresso linux # uname -a
Linux expresso 2.6.15-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP Tue Mar 21 22:21:22 EST 2006 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 242 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
|
again, tuxracer is working fine as a normal user. frozen bubble works fine, but only as root (a separate permission issue i would think). here's the video card, which i understand is the latest radeon supported by the opensource drivers (w/o the new r300 stuff):
| Code: |
expresso linux # lspci | grep -i rade
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (rev 01)
02:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (Secondary) (rev 01)
|
mesa is masked on my system, and i'm not sure if i need it or not to run quake3? any help would be most appreciated. i still can't shoot-um-up yet. |

| Just tried to get this working and got it. I have DRM disabled kernel, ati-drivers emerged, dri and glx loaded in xorg.conf, put the DRI section with mode 0666 in xorg.conf, loaded fglrx and agpgart (well nvidia-agp cause of my mobo), ran eselect opengl set ati, started X and it worked. Mind you I spent a while messing about with it cause it just didn't seem to work for some reason. Ow ye and add tmpfs in fstab or no quake3. |

why would i need ati-drivers when my card is 9200??
| Code: |
expresso linux # lspci | grep -i rade
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (rev 01)

| The people on irc told me ati-drivers are the only option for getting hardware accelerated openGL on ati cards. |

| they're pulling your chain, or assuming you have a card newer than a 9250. i've had a rage128 ati card that worked nicely with quake3 and open source drivers. if you see my earlier posts, you'll see that direct rendering is enabled (glxinfo output), and also that tuxracer works fine. |

try
| Code: | | LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose quake3 |
This should give you a clue about what's wrong with quake3. You are not by chance running an amd64 multilib system?

| this is an amd64 system, yes. i don't know what you mean by "multilib" thought. it does have all the lib compat stuff installed for the few x86 binaries that are run (flash, firefox, etc). |

If this works it will mean you can't access punkbuster required online servers as the opensourced quake3 doesn't contain any hooks to make punkbuster support possible. |

It's just that quake3 might have a problem with the emulation layer. So if you install quake3 (instead of quake3-bin), you get a self-compiled 64-bit version of the program which doesn't need emul stuff anymore and might work a bit better. |

| Well do as the output console says. Try starting the game with the option "+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1" behind it and see if that works. |
