i dont think my graphic accel is working
 

i have an AMD 1150 512 ram with a G-force 128 ram
i play doom3 and the way it plays make me think that my graphic accel is not workin
any ideas???

About what framerate are you getting? What version of X Windows are you using? Are you using the official "nvidia" driver? Could you post your xorg.conf or XF86Config file?

Have you followed the directions on nvidia's webpage to install the nvidia video drivers? Your distro isnt going to support accelerated 3d out of the box.

of course without these drivers, i woudl be suprised to see it run at all. There may be some fruit in the effort to dig in the archives and try a few different versions of the driver, they have released broken ones before :P

That being said, dooms 3 is a rough game to run even on a properly congured windows box (its target platform, right) Which geforce card do you have? the hardware might just be a bit too slow for the game..... I woudnt expect my ti4200 to run it well under windows or linux.


Are you using cedga?

i am running Slack 10.1 (Full install) with X 6.8.1
i have a GeForce FX 5200 i have the official nvidia drive version 1.0
i dont know how to know the framerate.
but here is my xorg.conf nd i will go look for info on nvidia.
thank you.

To see the fps while playing doom3

open up the DoomConfig.cfg file( located in "/home/you/.doom3/base/") with a text editor
and page down about a third of the way down and you should see:
change it to read:then it should show the fps while you are running the game.
