so how do i figure out?


Kernel Linux 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 <----- Does that help?

Looks like maybe Fedora? of which I know nothing about...

Check the Fedora forums: forums.fedoraforum.org

use your package manager to find and install wget. or you can open up your terminal and do the following (assuming your distro is fedora as you wrote):

yum search wget

when yum finds the wget package just install it with

yum install <wget-correct-package-name>

anyway, seems like you need some yum crash course as well, so check out this link.

Looks like you are missing the mesa-common dev libs (mesa-common-dev in debian/ubuntu)

[_Nel_]

Try to apply this package :

32 bits : http://debian-multimedia.org/pool/ma...8-0.1_i386.deb
or
64 bits : http://debian-multimedia.org/pool/ma...-0.1_amd64.deb

That's works fine on my laptop with an intel GM965 (in safe mode).

Ok, I did all you told us to and I still have the same problem.
I made everything as you said, I run Fedora 12 and I'm really new on this SO, not only F12, but the whole Linux idea.
It took me some time to do it all, but I did it.
Theoricaly, I have the lastest driver of my graphic card, but I'm gonna check it out.
Meanwhile, does anybody had the same problems on F12?
I have a Ge-Force 8400, wich I guess shoul'd be enough, because I used to play many other games.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Hywell.

Edit: Ok, nevermind. I just updated my stuff with "yum update" and it seems like it's running now, at least updating. =)
Edit 2: Well, I tried to run it and it seemed it always crashed my computer. It just froze every time I ran it, so I switched back to Windows, at least for a while. Downloading the game now. See you in there. =)

This procedure is not needed for a Geforce series card. as long as you have the NVIDIA driver package installed everything should be OK

Hey guys,
Thanks for guide, however I'm still just not there. I managed to go beyond video card error message and game starts without any issue.
However I can't see anything other than HUD in game its like pitch dark once I get into game just sounds of someone being hit no visual feedback.
Can't see my character even on character selection page

when I started game through ./rolauncher on terminal, I got following error message:

do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter.

P.S. I tried switching on/off S3TC compression in driconfig with same result

Thanks
I'll look forward to replies

protick, what is your video card, mesa, kernel, and X11 versions?
