UT2004 for Linux DEMO out!

Thetargos · 02-23-2004, 07:11 PM

Ok, are you logged in as root? if not, just do this in a terminal:

Code:

$ su
password:
# vi /etc/X11/XF86config

To start editting the file press the insert key, move with the pgup, pgdown and cursor keys, to save the file just press [Esc] and type :x (colon 'x').

got it changed

when I do the glxinfo I get

Error: unable to open display (null)

Try commenting out the Group line in the DRI section... (just start the line with a '#' sign to comment it)...

With what you did previously you should have something like this:

Code:

[gianni@Thetargos gianni]$ ls -l /dev/dri
total 0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     226,   0 feb 21 02:13 card0

Note the attributes (crw-rw-rw) meaning everyone has access to the device.

You may also want to check agpgart as well, and maybe modify it...

Mytherall · 02-23-2004, 07:32 PM

still get the same error

Thetargos · 02-23-2004, 07:35 PM

That's odd... I'll see if I find some info on this on the DRI documentation.

Mytherall · 02-23-2004, 07:37 PM

i get

crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 0 Feb 22 15:05 card0

Thetargos · 02-23-2004, 07:55 PM

Ok, then we'll change it manually:

Code:

$ su
password:
# cd /dev/dri
# chown root:root card0
# chmod 0666 card0

Try restarting your session... Just one question... Do you know if SuSE uses devfs? (becuase if it does, then you'll have to make the change somewhere else...) Anyway try if this works, if it does, we'll worry about devfs later.

Mytherall · 02-23-2004, 08:16 PM

that didn't work either

although I must thank you for the help and quick replies so far

Thetargos · 02-23-2004, 08:25 PM

You're welcome... But I'm not being much of a help I see...

Have you tried using SuSE's own X configuration tool? Just a hunch.

can't try it as it wont let me into the graphical interface

if there is a command for it i don't know it

Thetargos · 02-23-2004, 08:31 PM

Fedora and Red Hat come with a tool called redhat-config-xfree86, maybe if you look into your /usr/bin directory for a program with an X somewhere in the name (suse-xfreeconfigurator, or something) you may try to execute that.

Mytherall · 02-23-2004, 08:43 PM

searched for things with X and the only ones with config in them are xml2-config and Xslt-config

and when I searched for free i got none with config in them

Thetargos · 02-24-2004, 01:06 AM

I'm running out of ideas... Maybe if you ask in the SuSE forum?

In other news: Text To Speach (TTS) enabled UT2004demo!!

Found at www.linuxgames.com the news about this. Icculus has made up a patched executable version of the engine to accept it! Go get it, now!

To be able to get it working, though, you will need these two programs:
Festival
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/

and speechd
http://www.speechio.org/speechd.html

Gentoo user may just emerge both programs 'emerge festival speechd'

Follow the rather simple instructions on the readme, and enjoy!

I'm using Slackware 9.1, ATI 9700 with 3.7.0 driver, external agpgart, kernel 2.4.24 and when I run the demo there is texture corruption on the screen, and the game exits in 5-10 seconds after starting it.

Here's what it says :
------------------------------------
#./ut2004demo
ERROR: Could not open SkaarjPack.u for reading!

ERROR: Could not open SkaarjPack_rc.u for reading!

ERROR: Could not open BonusPack.u for reading!

ERROR: Could not open SampleSkin.u for reading!

Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]
Aborting.

Crash information will be saved to your logfile.
-----------------------------------

Here's my fglrxinfo :
----------------------------------------------
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9700 x86/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.3 (X4.3.0-3.7.0)
------------------------------------------------

fgl_glxgears works (600 pfs) and glxgears (3200 fps). I'm loading fglrx and agpgart in rc.modules. I have DRI disabled in the kernel and in XF86Config.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Thetargos · 02-24-2004, 05:02 AM

Only thing I can think of would be to try and reinstall the demo... If you look closely the ERROR messages, they say the files could not be opened for reading, so maybe you changed the permissons on the directroy?
