DOOM3 worked yesterday, doesn't today

NetRAVEN5000 · 09-30-2005, 04:11 PM

Yesterday DOOM3 worked on my PC. Today it doesn't. The only change I made between now and then was making my PC boot directly into X when it starts up (so that I see a graphical login screen and don't have to type "startx").

Now DOOM3 doesn't work anymore.

I'm using a GeForce FX 5500. I have the nVidia drivers installed and working.
My PC's a 2.(7/8?) GHz Celeron with 512MB RAM.

Any ideas?

Here's what I got from the terminal:

@darkwater:~$ doom3

I'm sure the problem has to do with me making X start automatically, but I'm not sure how to fix it since I want to have X start automatically.

You might take a look at this thread [Gentoo Forums].

It is long, but on page 3 there is a working solution. I'd recommend reading through most of it, though, instead of skipping and trying the solution...ignoring the gentoo specific commands, of course.

NetRAVEN5000 · 09-30-2005, 10:26 PM

Well before I try that. . . is it weird that glxinfo shows me as using indirect rendering? Shouldn't I be using direct rendering, since I'm using a 3d-accelerated card?

Scratch that - sorry. Forgot that nVidia has you disable DRI in your xorg.conf.

Anyways, I still can't make any sense of why it would work one day and not the next.

Also, thanks for trying to help out flower.Hercules, but your instructions are for a Gentoo install using an ATi card and the 64-bit ATi driver, and I'm using a Slackware 10.2 install with an nVidia card and my chip's only 32-bit.

Have you been to the DOOM III GNU/Linux FAQ

Quote:

ATI

ATI's Proprietary Linux Drivers (fglrx) version 3.14.6 and up will run DOOM3. Download fglrx from [WWW] http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/l...on-linux.html.

The DRI drivers for ATI cards may run the game with some tweaking ( you need to apply the S3TC patch for instance ). But the rendering quality will be sub-optimal, as a number of important graphic features are not available in the DRI drivers.

Do not send me reports about the game not working on ATI card. Either with fglrx driver or the DRI driver. We know about this already, and at this point there is nothing we can do.

First of all, I reinstalled the drivers and now it works OK. Maybe I did updates and it broke OGL.

Second of all, maybe you didn't fully read my previous posts, flower.Hercules, but I don't have an ATi card. I don't buy from ATi anymore - I did so once and their Linux support was terrible.

, I read it and I'm not sure why, on my second response, I thought you did.

Edited out rude comment about using bold and my username.

Well, I don't know why - I said right off the bat in my first post " I'm using a GeForce FX 5500. I have the nVidia drivers installed and working" and after you sent the ATi-specific instructions I said "I'm using a Slackware 10.2 install with an nVidia card."

Here's a fix for DRI:

http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debi...ing.html#nodri

basically, there's no DRI because there are either different vendors or different versions of the client / server. Just fix your symlinks and it'll work.

first check to see if the versions are mismatched:

Code:

glxinfo | egrep "glx (vendor|version)"

then:

Code:

ln -fs /usr/lib/libGL.so.$NVVER /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
ln -fs /usr/lib/libGL.so.$NVVER /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
ln -fs          libGL.so.$NVVER /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2

where $NVVER is the version of your nvidia-glx package, e.g. 1.0.7174

glxinfo should now show DRI as being enabled, and Doom3 will run.

Thanks for trying to help, but (I forgot to mention this but) I did a reinstall of the nVidia drivers and now it works - maybe they got wrecked when I did updates or something.

As far as the "indirect rendering" thing, I found out that the reason it couldn't use direct rendering was because I didn't have the proper AGPGART driver enabled in my kernel.

I don't think I want to go through the trouble to make "DRI" work - the nVidia "readme" says it doesn't work with it and until nVidia says otherwise I don't really wanna go through the trouble to make it work - not sure it's worth it if everything already works the way I want it to. Thanks anyways, though!
