Problem Running Tux Racer.
 

Hi Every body

I am running REDHAT Linux 9.0 on AMD DURON.
The problem is that my Graphic card doesn't working well in LINUX. The Game Tux Racer doesn't run properly. I mean it doesn't run smoothly. The same problem occures with "chromium"(Sorry I forget the full name). The visualisation plugins in XMMS has the same problem.
Can any body tell me what should I do? Please.........

well, both these games require 3D acceleration to be working
properly.........have you installed ATI or nVidia drivers????

Yes he is quit right, I make it function with a celeron 500 without a pb. :)
You just have to install the drivers for ur video card, and modify ur XF86Config as explain in the readme file which u can found with the driver. Hope for u u have an Nvidia, drivers are more stable.

No OpenGL, no Tuxracer. You gotta get 3d accel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't miss out on tux!

What is your graphics card? Perhaps its one someone here has made to work....

I am really sorry.
I forgotten to tell you about my board soecification. I am using PCCHIPS M810DLU v7.5c. It contain SIS chipset and AMD DURON processor. The VGA card is of SIS 740. Does it is still right to install NIVIDIA driver on it? If so where can I find NIVIDIA LINUX Driver?
I am waiting here for your kind reply
Thank you very much.

no nvidia drivers for that, try using dri instead. can you tell us what the output of the command glxinfo is?

Looks like the 740 is not on the list of explicitly supported chips for 4.3 (I just ran xf86config to the point where you look at the card database). Perhaps the folks at xfree86.org might have a better answer for that chip. I may look over there too, if I get a few min...

Thank you very much
 

Thank you very much
I will try on xfree86.org and searching there.
But what do u mean by "dri"? Is it a name of driver? if so where can I find it? Please give me link to that site.
Thanks alot.

Its the Direct Rendering Infrastructure project. They are the ones who are providing one of the 3D acceleration means besides Microsoft's DirectX, if I'm not mistaken.

The out put of "glxinfo" is as followed

Can u help me?

Isn't there any RPM package for the driver? Becouse it is tough to compile it and install it.
If any one tell me please.......
