[ SOLVED ] Workaround for SEGFAULT issue

[Mandala13]

Hi! Done everything that you said in this post and it helped me a lot for, finally, opening a Launcher and actually entering the game. For the first time of using RO in this computer, I even watch the video (in Hardy, there was no video at all). But here's the problem.

An image is worth one thousand words, right? This is how I see the game, with or without Compiz. Everything deactivated and even tried safe mode, but it was the same. Any ideas?

try this...

Turn off Compiz then issue this command in a terminal before starting RO:

gconftool --toggle /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager

I get graphic problems with my install if I do not have Gnomes Composite engine running... Compiz is RIGHT OUT. lol..

I added the above toggle to my regnum-online.sh alone with some other tweaks.

My regnum-online.sh commented for clarity.

#!/bin/bash

##  This stores the video mode of my current desktop so it may be recalled later 
##  since RO doesnt resize the screen for me on exit.
OLD_VIDMODE="$(xrandr |grep "Screen 0" | awk '{print $8 $9 $10}' |sed '{s|,||}')"


###  This stores the default memory and clock speed of my Radeon 9000
### So it may be overclocked then returned to default values.
### (Note that I have NOPASSWD access to rovclock set in /etc/sudoers)
ATI_OLD_CORE=$(sudo rovclock -i |grep Core: |awk '{print $2}')
ATI_OLD_MEMO=$(sudo rovclock -i |grep Core: |awk '{print $5}')


### Turns ON the Gnome Compiste Engine
gconftool --toggle /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager

###  Overclock my Radeon to values that are known to work for ME
sudo rovclock -c 305  -m 250


### Start Chrooted RO session
sudo chroot /opt/hardy-chroot /home/$USER/regnum/chrooted_ro.sh $USER


## Clean up and revert to old vidmode
##
# Turn off Gnome Composite
gconftool --toggle /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager

## Makes sure previous desktop mode is set
xrandr -s "$OLD_VIDMOD"

## Return Radeon to default Clock speeds to save heat and power
sudo rovclock -c $ATI_OLD_CORE   -m $ATI_OLD_MEMO


exit 0

Report back please, thanks

Hey folks,

I did the tutorial, it`s working now!
but..when RO starts, it starts flipping the page, like a "poor refresh". There is no way to play with that! Can anyone help me solve that?

I`m using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
My card is an ATI Mobility X1400

On hardy, the official driver fglrx worked with my card.

I`m worried about doing something bad...
to solve my issues...if I try on chrooted to install via apt-get the fglrx drivers, would it solve my issues? would it mess something? if someone can give me a hint (I really don`t know too much how does chrooted works)

holas, i get the error:

/home/night/regnum/chrooted_ro.sh: 1: !/bin/bash: not found
/home/night/regnum/chrooted_ro.sh: 5: regnum-online.sh: not found

I think the first line is missing # before !, and the second script in the post should be named regnum-online.sh.

This sounds like what I get with fglrx combined with 2.6.29 or newer kernel. To make a long story short, ATI binary drivers are broken with these recent kernels, and all the patches I've seen to force it working are dirty hacks that will not give you a completely working driver. For everyday applications the result could be fine, but things start to go wrong when you try to run Regnum or other graphics-intensive applications.

You should try the open source driver if your card is fully supported. Mine isn't, so for these kinds of applications I just boot with an old 2.6.28 kernel (last version that plays well with fglrx).

Ah, I´m using the open-source! =P
my card is fully supported...compiz run fine with it!
is just that, when I run regnum over this tutorial, it looks like a very ''poor refresh''. I though if I could install the fglrx on the chrooted one (with hardy) would be better, since when I was on hardy my card was supported by fglrx. Anyway, thz for the replay!

roxthiaguin: You should be able to install fglrx to the chroot without afecting your current system
