quake 4 problems

Cyber Maid · 11-22-2005, 08:34 AM

I've googled like crazy and browsed forums and found many same errors, but none were any help.
I can't seem to get quake to run on FC4...i'm getting this error:

Code:

I have the Nvidia drivers installed, and it's in the list when i type lsmod.
I've done the usual stuff in xorg too:

What am i doing wrong?

madluther · 11-22-2005, 06:21 PM

Just a wild guess, try commenting out the composite extension entry in your xorg.conf, I seem to remember reading somewhere that there were conflicts between GLX and the Composite extension, or optionally add the following

Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "boolean"

to the device section

There should be documentation on this in /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0

HTH

You have not correctly installed the accelerated drivers
You should check that the correct extensions are present;
'xdpyinfo' should show the "GLX", "NV-GLX" and "NVIDIA-GLX" extensions
present. If these three extensions are not present, then there is most
likely a problem with the glx module.

I've got the same problem, running quake4-demo on Fedora Core 4. I'm using an nVidia GeForce MX 400 with the latest nVidia drivers.

Code:

--------------- R_InitOpenGL ----------------
Initializing SDL subsystem
Loading GL driver 'libGL.so.1' through SDL
TODO: Sys_SetClipboardData
********************
ERROR: SDL_SetVideoMode failed: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
********************
--------------- BSE Shutdown ----------------
---------------------------------------------
WARNING: rvServerScanGUI::Clear() - invalid scanGUI

idRenderSystem::Shutdown()
Sys_Error: SDL_SetVideoMode failed: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

I've never encountered a problem like this with any other OpenGL application on this system. I'm curious what they're passing in as the 'flags' parameter to SDL_SetVideoMode().

My xorg.conf doesn't mention the Composite option anywhere. I'll post it if requested, but I'm omitting it for now to keep clutter out of this thread.

xdpyinfo does not list NVIDIA-GLX, but GLX and NV-GLX are included in its output.

This was my Screen section from xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480 320x240 320x200"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

I changed the DefaultDepth and Depth from 16 to 24:

Code:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480 320x240 320x200"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Restarted X, and quake4-demo now runs without problem.

I don't know if this will help Cyber Maid though. That poster's screen section looks like this:

Code:

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     16
		Modes    "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

There are subsections both for 24 and for 16 bit, with the default specified as 24. Assuming the cause of his problem is the same as mine, it might be that his system doesn't support 24-bit colors and is failing over to the 16-bit section. I would suggest removing the section with Depth 16 and see if X runs, and then try to run quake4.
