Unreal Tournament 2004 hangs while playing on GeForce MX 4000


I downloaded the UT2K4 demo some days ago, but I've never been able to play... Here's a screenshot from the stock Mandrake 10.0 radeon driver... pwfe.redirectme.net/others/ut_bug.png (sorry if it's not a link I don't have 5 posts yet :@) ...

After some punches in my wall, I tried to install the fglrx driver from ATI.com... but with fglrx driver I'm not able to get DRI working so I can not run UT2K4 at all. Please help I'm out of Idea

Thanks

Did you follow the steps completely?

As root:

You install the package using the command: rpm -i --force fglrx.--- rest of module name

After that you do the following:
cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
sh make.sh

cd ..
sh make_install.sh

after that, run fglrxconfig, configure your radeon card and then with the last prompt to actually write a new x-config file, say yes.

Reboot your system and then in a terminal window in X type:

glxinfo and check for Direct Rendering: Yes

I have ATI Radeon 9200 SE and that's exactly what I had to do to get DRI working and UT2004 ran super.

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Trickle

Thanks for the help, but as I said in my second post, I bought an NVIDIA card and now games work, but system hangs after about 5min of playing I hope I'll find a way to get rid of those crashes soon
