Hello!

Emerge libsdl an app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-sdl.

I don't know if you need these two.. but i have both install.

Regards Chris

P.s: On libsdl, take care to set the opengl Useflag.

Edit2:

libsdl is currently on 1.2.13, so updating it might help. You could also try running revdep-rebuild in case it's missing a link somewhere...

Well if glxinfo/glxgears are giving you problems then it's probably not an SDL issue. It's possible that your version of nvidia-drivers is corrupt somehow, or that there's something wrong in your xorg.conf. Could you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

Thanks for reply, ok got it working by emerge latest sdl and re emerging the nvidia-driver, most likely it was a re emerge of driver that did it.

Still have issue of game se faulting after minutes of playing?

Gives no reason, game just stops and last line on console says 'segmentation fault' ?

Thanks for reply, i don't have pquiry on system, what package is it from?

in mean time i did:

Naib · Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2008 12:49 pm Post subject:

pquery is part of pkgcore a gentoo-portage drop-in replacement (works really well and FAST!!!)
see the link in my siggy or emerge pkgcore
to get you started: pmerge -s installed -uDp will update your system

anyway I was more interested on what libsdl depends on NOT what depends on libsdl

in this case only quakewar the binary depends on libsdl but we can't go and re-compile quakewars now

also quakewars threaded ships with a pre-compiled/patched libsdl so it can't be libsdl itself that is the root of the problem

iD/Splashdamage actually compiles their binaries REALLY concervativly for linux (something like for a p3 or something) because the windows version is compiled with intels C-compiler (ICC) and uses some nasty hacks for the SIMD stuff, hacks that don't translate to gcc

So the key is to re-compile everything (short of the system profile) that libsdl depends on (at least the 1st layer)

Thanks for reply, not ready to try another package manager at the moment though the other one works fine.

I re-emerge all the those packages including etqw.

cat /usr/portage/media-libs/libsdl/libsdl-1.2.13.ebuild

Ok taking that list i see that not all are installed, not that thought all would be.

Still no joy

Thing this the only app giving problems, every thing is stable with no segfaults ?

ok last couple of things otherwise I am seriously stumped

1)
mv ~/.etqwcl ~/.etqwcl-orig
and then start the game, you won't have any of your config or such but just join a game and see if it crashes
if so it is something in yr config that is causing an error in the QW binary to seg

if that is the case

2)
rm ~/.etqwcl -rf
mv ~/.etqwcl-orig ~/.etqwcl

and
seta r_useIndexBuffers "1
