I Read the Nvidia Manual And did exactaly What they Said As Far As editing My config File
and nothing Else Applied. But I still Have the Same Problem!!! The Americas Army Splash Screen Shows But Nothing Happens. I went to AmericasArmy.com And looked at thier Linux Forums And Out of 6 Pages I found Nothing That Helped Me. Please Someone Help Me Figure This Thing Out.

I am running Fedora Core 3 With a nvidia fx 5700 le with 256 ddr

Do you get the Nvidia splash screen when X starts? And have you tried running glxgears and seeing how the performance is in that?

I don't get a Nvidia splash screen at startp of x, I have tried running glxgears and i get the same error as posted b4.

You need to load the GLX extension, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or XF86-Config) and add in the modules section.

Also, it seems that the newest army ops may need 24bit color depth. Or maybe your card just can't run at the color depth. Or whatever, change your color depth at the bottom of your X config file.

In My config File it Already Has "load" GLX Drivers.
Im not sure about the whole color depth thing with my video card.
I'll try it out.
I have a Nvidia fx 5700 le with 256 ddr
Not sure if that help to diagnos.


thanks,

Yea I have your same problem, I get that "Cannot load GLX modules", and my xorg.conf has
the load glx in it. I'll be watching this...

My glxinfo output
 

I'm having the same problem as everyone else. My XF86-Config-4 file has load glx in it, and nvidia shows up in my lsmod. So, if this helps at all, heres glxinfo:
glxinfo

If that helps ... good ... if not ... well ........

If you don't see the Nvidia splash screen when your system starts X then the driver is not fully configured...(Or you disabled the splash screen in your xorg.conf or XF86Config by hand)

The readme at the Nvidia site has alot of good info in it, and as long as the Nvidia installer was able to build or download a driver then it's up to the user to edit the xorg.conf, or XF86Config(-4) per the instructions. You should reboot after the driver module is installed and the config file is edited. As long as you follow the instructions it "should" work.

I always check using glxgears after installing the Nvidia driver to make sure that accerleration is working.

I have an Nvidia GF 5700 FX Ultra 128meg card and I run Americas Army at 1280x1024x24bit.

Edit: don't try to run the game at a mode not supported by your xorg.conf file or it will crash at start. I found this out after switching back to 1024x768 for my desktop while the game was still configured for 1280x1024.

I also have a nvidia card built into my motherboard, perhaps that is screwing up the drivers and the config file. If anyone Knows anything about it please help me out.



Thanks,
Josh

I have the same problem

Geforce FX 5200 128mb

i went trough the whole guide on nvidia.com

but the installer won't instal because of my kernel ( it does not reconize it )

any ideas

NL-Stitch, make sure you have the kernel source rpm installed. If the Nvidia installer cannot download a prebuilt module it will have to build one for your system. It needs the source code for the kernel version you are running. It should be on one of the 4 Fedora Core 3 cd's.

ok i have the package..

what do i have to do now
rpmbuild does NOT work

do i have to put the src rpm in the smae directory as installer or...


:newbie:

ok i got the source rpm ro work.

next up is that he stil doesn se the source rpm i installed and i don have a tool called cc or gcc... i am checking it out

ok i have downloaded a .bz2 pakkage... of gcc
i unpacked
but where do i have to put it?
