ATI + REGNUM Problem Solved! (Ubuntu with free ATI drivers)
I have found a quite simple fix for the "Unsupported Video Card" Error while using an ATI graphics card under Ubuntu 7.04 running the FREE Open-Source ATI Driver.
Instructions are as follows: You may want to download and install Mesa 7.0.1. The instructions are here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2960650&postcount=3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Install package "driconf" from Synaptic, or use the following code below in Terminal: Code:
sudo apt-get install driconf Code:
driconf 4) Save your settings and close. 5) Install RegnumLX if you haven't already done so. Skip to Step 6 if it is already installed. Otherwise, use this code to get it: Code:
mkdir regnum cd regnum wget http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/downloads/files/rolauncher.tar.gz tar xfz rolauncher.tar.gz rm rolauncher.tar.gz chmod +x rolauncher Code:
./rolauncher ---------------------------------- TROUBLESHOOTING: Q1) I have weird graphic errors. What should I do? A1) If you have weird graphic errors after all these steps, download one of these libraries: If you have Mesa 7.0, use this one - http://homepage.hispeed.ch/rscheideg...n070518.tar.gz If you have Mesa 6.0, use this one - http://homepage.hispeed.ch/rscheideg...n060508.tar.gz and after extracting, type in terminal: Code:
make sudo make install That will fix graphic problem not only in Regnum but in other games too, one reported is Eternal Lands. This library will engage S3TC compression, so dont worry, Regnum should work. -------------------------------- Q2) I open Driconf, and it opens it expert mode, and in console window writes: Code:
Driver "r200" is not installed or does not support configuration. A2) This: Code:
sudo updatedb locate r200_dri.so libGL.so.1.2 Code:
/usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 Code:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib sudo mkdir modules cd /usr/X11R6/lib/modules sudo mkdir dri sudo cp /usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri If driconf opens normally, select 'enable s3tc compression' and Regnum will start fine. --------------------------------- Useful links:
Now, I, Jaimez, personally have NOT tested this yet actually in-game, all I know so far is that the laucher loads without any errors. I am using the ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 9800 PRO, and I have used only this card. DO NOT complain to me if you do not have exactly as I do, because I know absolutely nothing about it :P Thank You!
