the only way i can successfully get out of x is to change my inittab. doing "/sbin/telinit 3" craps it up. it takes me to a completely blank area where i cant do anything. and if i change it to nvidia, and then reboot, it gets mad and resets it!
Yes, you're already in runlevel 3, so telinit 3 won't do anything.
So, log out of gnome, so that you're in a text console, then do this:
1) edit xorg.conf and make sure the driver is nvidia, and not nv
2) modprobe nvidia (as root)
3) startx (as normal user)
4) try UT again.
ok, i wasnt really sure how to log out of gnome by itself, so i just did a complete reboot. then i logged in as a su. i did this...
vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[made sure it was set to nvidia]
exit
/sbin/modprobe nvidia
[it did its thing]
exit(to nu)
startx
the nvidia screen flashed for a split second before it started gnome and my screen was centered a little left(the same as windows usually is and it is set up properly.)
now i tried to run ut2k4 and this is what i got
[silintninjya@localhost ~]$ /home/silintninjya/ut2004/ut2004

looks easy to fix to me. and i think we are moving forward with it ^_^
What you'll have to do is edit /etc/security/console.perms
Remove any lines which have dri in them
Add:
<nvidia>=/dev/nvidia*
underneath:
# device classes
and add:
<console> 0660 <nvidia> 0600 root
underneath:
# permission definitions
In order to get the nvidia module loaded at boot (so you don't have to modprobe it every time you boot), edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and add:
modprobe nvidia
at the end of the file. After you've done that, you can probably put 5 back into inittab, and have your graphical login back.
