i still try to solve my problem, Regnum seems to be a great games

is it possible that regnum'linux client will become open source like eternal lands with a special licence to protect the authors ?

You say in your first posts that you are using the Radeon driver.
That would explain everything.
The Radeon driver is opensource and doesnt support 3D acceleration.
You should install the ATI flgrx driver and then everything would work as expected

I also hope for an open client, but not server.
NGD must still have a closed source server to prevent cheat, and earn money.

direct rendering works with open source radeon driver but ATI driver is better.

I am agree with you about licence. I play to 'Landes Eternelles' (Eternals Lands in france) and the linux client is open source with a specific licence (not GPL) that protect author's right but provide a solution for compiling the client and solve all my problems by this way.

I suggest you install the fglrx driver indeed.

I would like the client GPL so people could submit patches, improvments, but with another license on all data and so to protect.

i cannot install fglrx driver because my video card (ATI radeon 9250) with r200 is no more supported by ATI.
i am not sure that i can patch the newest ATI packages for fedora Zod and the lastest kernel, so i do not want to use fglrx driver now.

Ironnically i try yesterday to play under windows client with wine using direct 3D and it works

But performance are so bad that it was unplayable ...

Hi,

When I had FC6 and Radeon 9250 I was installing my graphics card this way:
http://forum.fedora.pl/index.php?showtopic=12565&hl=

I can translate it from Polish step by step:

Quote:

su
1. yum install qt-devel compat-libstdc++-33 gcc -y
2. ln -sf /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)-$(uname -m) /usr/src/linux
3. ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux/config.h
4. download ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run
5. go to the folder where You downloaded file mentioned above and run: sh ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run --extract
6. go to extracted folder /packages/Fedora/ and copy kernel-2.6.18.diff to common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
7. edit make.sh placed in the same folder
8. change src_file=$linuxincludes/linux/version.h to src_file=$linuxincludes/linux/utsrelease.h
9. go to /common/usr/X11R6 and create /bin folder, then copy /x700/usr/X11R6/bin/fireglcontrolpanel to /common/usr/X11R6/bin
10. go back to the main fglrx-install folder and run: sh ati-installer.sh 8.28.8 --buildpkg Fedora/FC6
11. after that prpper packages should be created for Your FC6
12. install them
13. run: aticonfig --initial
14. edit xorg.conf
15. at the and of the file write:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "False"
EndSection

Restart computer and you're done!

That's the way I installed drivers for FC6. Then I even installed XGL Beryl For fedora and it worked really good.

But bee careful, You could mess all your system if you don't know what you're doing

BTW. It must be 8.28.8 driver!
