help getting my video card working fully(xfree86 config maybe?)

edman007 · 01-10-2004, 07:18 PM

my video card is working for stuff like KDE and Gnome, but games like amercias army and Wolfenstein Enemy Territory won't work at all

amercias army says:

Code:

Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

and Wolfenstein Enemy Territory says:

Code:

Xlib:  extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DGA" missing on display ":0.0".
Failed to detect XF86DGA Mouse
Using 8/8/8 Color bits, 16 depth, 0 stencil display.
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
GL_RENDERER: Mesa GLX Indirect
blah..blah..blah..
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":0.0".

i have uncommented 'Load "glx"' and 'Load "dri"' and commented out this:

Code:

#    SubSection  "extmod"
#      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
#    EndSubSection

but it still dosen't work, what else do i have to do to get it to work, i have slackware current, 2.6.1 kernel, and ASUS v9520 Magic geforce fx 5200 vid card with 64mb ram

Have a look at your
/var/log/XFree86.0.log
and see which module it actually loads...

How did you set X up in the first place?
If you are running the slack-defaults then
you're probably on the VESA driver, which
in fact doesn't support OpenGL. You will
probably want to get nVidia drivers for
Linux of their web-site.
