DirectX and Linux?

Nysomin · 10-05-2007, 03:28 AM

Ok, I've downloaded the RO linux client, and I log on and it says,

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

1 - I have a Geforce 6800, old, but not that old, and it's supposed to be supported.

2 - I have the latest nvidia drivers, all kernals re-compiled fine.

3 - Can you really put directX on linux? I didn't think you could.

Any help with this would be great!

You cannot put DirectX on any form of Linux. That would be an error on Regnum's part, and not your problem.

Linux uses OpenGL, which works just fine.
