HOWTO: Solving the "Your card is too old" problem - Page 6

xtracool_protik · 03-12-2010, 08:43 AM

video card Intel X3100 intel 965 GEM GM , kernel 2.6.31-20-generic -- Ubuntu 9.10

Checked following versions through synaptic dunno if there is any other way to check X11 and mesa versions

mesa 7.6.0
X11 versions (not exactly sure about this one) 7.4 (thats wat it said for X11-server-utils)

Sorry for not being exact but please let me know how to check I'll correct myself

Thank for help

Hmm, as far as I'm aware the Intel drivers from mesa 7.5.something on have been find with s3tc as long as it's precompressed (like RO is) or you have libxtc-dxtn. Have you tried running it with the fixed pipeline renderer?

Hi,
Thanks for reply but can u be explain a little about mesa drivers like where and how to get.
I used guide posted in this thread so I suppose I've libxtc-dxtn
And I simply don't know wat do u mean by pipelined renderer

Thanks a lot for help

The mesa opengl stack came with your distribution. You don't need to upgrade them.
By fixed pipeline renderer I mean the "Fixed Pipeline" option as Shader Model in the Regnum Online options.

ohh in that case 7.4.6 is updated mesa in ubuntu 9.10 repositories
And I'll try fix pipeline shader right away in Regnum online, will let u know the result
Thanks

Hi here are the results:

Fix pipeline shader: Game start pretty quick however while loading it just goes blank (music playing) I need to force shutdown my laptop.

Shader model 2.0: Game takes way too long to start however loading goes smooth and game actually starts but with only HUD (no in game graphics at all probably a hand cursor sometime but thats all)

Safe Mode: Same as Fix pipeline however game starts even faster

Thanks

looks like I'm stuck.
Any opinion on whether I should wait for next mesa upgrade or kernel upgrade or should I just forget about playing it with intel card?

I'm having some graphical problems since new engine and I tried Ubuntu 9.10. Unfortunately, I got same error as you, blank screen.

I noticed a Slackware changelog updating all video packages and I reinstalled them to see what happens. Now RO works perfect. Here is my packages version:

libdrm-2.4.18
mesa-7.7
xorg-server-1.7.5
xf86-video-intel-2.10.0

Good luck

Sorry I couldn't get u completely Hocus,
You are playing it in Slackware or Ubuntu 9.10?
if Ubuntu then my packages ain't upgraded yet or if u have used ppa can u please share it over here? Thanks a lot for response

Well I have no idea how you can have ubuntu 9.10 and mesa 7.4, because ubuntu 9.10 shipped with mesa 7.6 (except for libmesa-glw, which is a kinda pointless library at this moment in time anyway)
Buuuut, mesa 7.7 is in ubuntu 10.04 beta, I would recommend getting the packages from that.
