Problem with America's Army

Inexactitude · 10-10-2003, 06:13 PM

I recently installed the ATI drivers for my Radeon 9700 pro, and everything went okay, but when I try to run America's Army, the game crashes almost immediatly and this error is displayed:

Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".

Developer Backtrace:
[ 1] /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 [0x40028e55]
Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]
Aborting.

I know this is some kind of error with X, but I'm not aware on how to fix it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Would it be easier to help me If i posted my X config file? If it is I'll put it up.

Okay, Here's my X config file. I'm using a ATI Radeon 9700 pro. Any help with for the above problem is appreciated.

Does anybody have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

hmm... xig sundry... thats a reference to the xig.com drivers. they cost money, so dont spend anything yet... try seeing if your x display goes to screen/display 0.

Okay, Im sorry, but can I do this (as you can tell, I'm pretty new to linux).

Does it have something to do with this part of my X conf file?

# Each Screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally
# the relative position of other screens. The four names after
# primary screen name are the screens to the top, bottom, left and right
# of the primary screen.

Screen "Screen0"

Also, Why would I have to pay for these drivers when there are plently of people playing AA without having to get them? Is it something to do with my hardware?

well, you never actually mentioned what your hardware was...

LavaDevil94 · 10-14-2003, 03:14 PM

oh yeah, sorry, you did. try some older drivers. or maybe the drivers from schidener digital?

Inexactitude · 10-14-2003, 03:57 PM

Okay, I'll give them a shot. Thanks.

I installed the drivers from Schneider digital and get the same error. Should I try downloading a new Xlib? Also, in the developer backtrace, it points out a problem with a file in a directory named i686. Can this be causing a problem because my computer is an i586?

I have a problem with my fortissimo III 7.1 sound card in the game

its all strange and stuff... not normal

Inexactitude · 10-15-2003, 03:22 PM

Maybe you should check to see if there is a new driver for your sound card.

LavaDevil94 · 10-15-2003, 03:26 PM

ya, going to the wrong i dir would do it (i think). try cping your i586 dir to i686 w/ all the 586 stuff in it.

Inexactitude · 10-15-2003, 03:35 PM

OKay, I'll take a look at it. The i586 directory should be in the /lib directory, right?

LavaDevil94 · 10-15-2003, 03:58 PM

i think so, although if it doesnt work, you might need an i686.
