What the...? - Page 4

Yes there is another way

Start Yast, enter the "System" section and fire up the "Editor for /etc/sysconfig files".

Now, expand "Desktop", expand "Desktop manager" (I think), anyway you should find something named XSERVER or similar... click it, and change "Xgl" to "Xorg" using a combobox.

Ouch.. this explanation is really bad, but I'm sitting at a Mandriva system atm

Alright, that worked, atleast when I do back to double check to see in the changes stuck it worked. But still no RO. I'm so flippin confused...

I know this may sound stupid, but did you add Load "dri" to your xorg.conf file, as was suggested?

Nysomin · 10-18-2007, 12:10 AM

HA HA! Good news. No I have no idea what happened, but I was messing with a few of the nvidia specific xorg.conf options and my x server wouldn't run, it would start up, KDE would load like 1/2 way then lock up, ctrl-alt-backspace told me it keep loosing contact with the x server(I didn't know that was possible), so I ran sax2 and restored the default settings(like I've done a million times already) and now RO is working! Not sure why, but all teh fancy xgl or glx effects(like the desktop cube) are gone. But ah well, atleast I can play RO. Thanks for everyone's help. I now understand the x server and nvidia drivers a lot better.

Ok, I may have spoke too soon, well I can enter the game world, but it's extremely choppy, not to mention horrible quality. Now I'm sure there is a certian amount of, "Hey, it's free, quit complaining", but it's so bad that I seriosuly think something isn't working right. Is there a debug menu or something I can see what's going on in?

Why don't you do a sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new (under a Debian based system, of course :P)?

Try installing the propietary drivers.

Nysomin · 10-18-2007, 01:18 AM

I did that, well, execpt I used nvidia's instructions for, I've got a 6800 so it's a little old, but should be ok, ran FEAR just fine in vista, so I can't imagine that RO is more system taxing then FEAR.

Nysomin, I have yet to see where you corrected this issue?

glxinfo | grep -i direct
direct rendering: No

Nvidia cards don't rely on DRI, chances are it may not be turned on. Regnum relys on DRI. Do you have DRI on? If I missed where you posted that please correct me.

I did add Load "dri" several different time, in fact everytime I manually edited my xorg.conf, although I never specifically stated that, and now glxinfo | grep -i direct returns yes(I have no idea what I did to do that though).

After that glxinfo | grep -i direct started returning yes, sorry I should have made that clear. Anyway, Load "dri" never seems to stay in my xorg.conf, I tried it a few times now, and everytime I restart my x server it gets taken out. RO does run now, just poorly.

when ingame press 'alt+i' and 'alt+p' and post the fps and ping values

maybe we can pinpoint the problem further
