I'm attempting to run Unreal Tournament 436 on my redhat 7.3 box with the nvidia drivers installed.

I've tested the nvidia drivers using the opengl screensavers and they're working just fine.

Here's the important part of the output when I start UT. It goes black for a moment and then returns.

Resizing SDL viewport. X: 640 Y: 480
OpenGL
gd error (glide): gd error (glide): grSstSelect: non-existent SSTgd error (glide): grSstSelect: non-existent SSTSignal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]
Aborting.
Exiting.

Im not sure, but it seems that you setup UT to use GLIDE but NVidia doesn't support Glide.

I suggest you go through the UT setup again and this time make sure to choose Other option (D3D?) instead of Glide (It's in the main UT installation menu, the one where you choose your installation PATH, etc...
Hope that helps

Aha! I don't remember changing that setting so that could very well be it! I'll check it tonight when I get home and post my results here.

Nope that's not it. OpenGL was selected as the default, and I left it at that when I installed it again. I did nuke the prior install, so it was a clean reinstall.

Anyone with other ideas?

Anyway the "grSstSelect" refers to "wrong Glide version for hardware" error, better run ut-bin with the -log option, look over your configs again and recheck your installed lib versions.

Recheck my installed lib versions. Um. What should what libraries be? I can run the opengl screen savers really fast with the nvidia drivers, so they seem to work just fine.

Heres my UT.ini file, check it against yours, i have rh7.3 with nvid mx400 so your file should be the same as mine, and i bet this is where the error lies. 2message post

Holy $h!t thats long...
Anyway, you might go over to Nvidia Linux FAQ at the end of the driver tutorial and see other interesting options you can specify in XF86Config file.
For example i couldn't start my X server, i had to add
Option "nvAgp" "0"
to XF86Config, so you might need some kind of option in there too...
This is just a wild guess tho...
-NSKL

Also check out http://home.austin.rr.com/unlocked/Nvidia_help.html and evil3d.net, they got a load of nvidia-$(distro)-howto's and nfo.
Since I installed manually I had to make sure there where no old Mesa libs/symlinks around (use the installer script's locations for checks).
Also I had to add the lib directly to the .ini:
OpenGLLibName=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2960. No probs running from there.
If you did own a card using Glide before check for libglide's that may be in the way: Nvidia choose SGI GL over Mesa, so basically everything else that comes in its path will make it kinda unhappy.

Aha changing this line

OpenGLLibName=libGL.so.1

To this line:

OpenGLLibName=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.2960

Did the trick to get it working! Thanks so much!
