Ubuntu and Intel 5700

Conzar · 06-02-2011, 09:36 AM

I am unable to get Regnum working on my System76 laptop. It has an Intel 5700 graphics card. When I try to login to Regnum, I get an unsupported graphics card error. Is there anything I can do to get Regnum to work on my laptop?

Thanks

UPDATE:
Installing driconf and enabling S3TC Textures worked. Note, I only enabled S3TC textures for regnum online which requires 2 separate applications (rolauncher and game).

Uhm, I heard Regnum dislikes Intel cards. Are you sure your intel is installed to the laptop?

you need support for S3TC textures. Either install driconf and enable S3TC textures or if you can't find the option you will need this library. Some new linux distros use Gallium drivers which don't have the option S3TC textures in driconf.

To compile it from source, you probably have to use:

Code:

./configure
make
sudo make install

Thank you Cuchulainn! Installing driconf via the synaptic package manager and then enabling S3TC textures worked!

Does anyone have the game working with Intel Card and Shader 2.0?

This is the reason i cant switch to ubuntu but thats because i'm using an Intel 965 express chipset family.

with windoze i can get shader 2.0 and about 30 fps Ubuntu i cant run it at all and i managed to get a friend with a geek penis that baffles my very conception of size to run it but only got 3 fps when i could so i've had to install/uninstall ubuntu and windows several times.

So if this works and you get a decent ammount of fps and pref shader 2.0 can you tell me please

i would like my computer to be running a decent OS.
