Slight problem runing regnum under linux 9.04

techfreak15 · 04-27-2009, 06:54 AM

Hi, everytime I load up regnum, I get to click accpet on the agreements and all that stuff, then I type my login info and it crashes when i press LOGIN. After all of that, something pops up saying "Unsupported video card!

There are three possible causes for this error:
1. Your video card is too old
2. You haven't installed the latest available drivers
3. You haven't installed the latest DirectX version"

Running it under Ubuntu it crashes. Run it in WINE... well it works, just a little glitchy cursor graphic and the speed is like... very slow.

My video card is a Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller.

Think that might be the problem? If not, one of you can walk me through a solution please? LOL Thanks alot!

That didn't work for me...... I could have done it wrong though. I put in the terminal everything it said to put in, but it had a problem making the directroy then when it finally did make it it didn recgonize the directory. Im sooo confused x_x lol looks like stuff on linux never works when I touch it.

You will not receive any help if you dont know what are you talking about.

There is no such thing like Linux 9.04 afaik yet
You did not provide all information like versions of drivers, kernel, xorg etc..
You did not tell if you have direct rendering enabled.
Best way to do that is
glxinfo | grep OpenGL
Which tells whether are you using Software rasterizer and what is your mesa version.
You also need to tell exactly whats wrong, providing at least logs from game.

If you're using Intel then Ubuntu has messed up components of X stack.
Check Intel Linux Graphics page for 2009Q1 what versions are needed of all components. What I suggest is to install them from development branch of Ubuntu.

AFAIK, Ubuntu stable has downgraded for old components, keeping new mesa.

There has been a lot of work done in improving Xserver performance and features. It has not been touched since Voodoo accelerators and now huge changes mostly sponsored by intel have been made.
This cause that so many components needs to be changed.
But with DRI2,GEM,KMS all vendors will benefit. It will be also easier to implement OpenGL 3 in future.

For more detailed information if interested read Keith report http://keithp.com/blogs/Sharpening_t..._Driver_Focus/

For proper textures display on all OpenSource drivers using mesa you need to install
libtxc-dxtn0 - S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) library
which is not included since its protected by patents.

Regnum no longer has the your card is to old error. It just crashes when it trys to enter a world. The terminal says

get fences failed: -1
param: 6, val: 0
Saving backtrace to crash_backtrace_24467.log
Got SIGSEGV (segmentation fault)

Also my video card is Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller.

Dunno if that will help any though.
