Asus eeePC and Nexuiz

[TehTux]

I spoke way too soon.

Seems that Xandros (default eeePC distro) has 3d enabled, eeeXubuntu does not.

Follow the instructions here for setting up 3d in eeeXubuntu:

Went from 2FPS to around 18FPS. Dips into single figures in open areas with people.

Open Arena now seems to be 40+ FPS constant - and looks better. Just calling it how I see it.

Maybe with some more hacking I can get this 630Mhz beast to play Nexuiz online and smooth.

LOW is NOT intended to disable all features.. just the resource hogging ones so it can still look ok but offering more speed..

The menu is opengl? well in a sense yes the whole engine is.. but the menu does not use special ogl features i do not see what should be changed there.

I suppose OA has fewer/lower size textures so maybe gl_picmip or r_compressedtextures does help some.

What mouse driver do you have? Maybe the slowness from the menu is just the mouseacceleration doing strange things. There is a menu option to turn it off.

Set all settings as low as possible (also texture compression and quality as esteel said) and try again. Maybe even a lower resolution? Try setting vid_width and vid_height manually in the autoexec.cfg if you cant do it from the menu. Also set vid_bitsperpixel 16

r_glsl 0 might help, too

I'm interested in the results, considering buying the eeepc 2nd generation when (if) they ever release it.

Great idea, as Open Arena is 640x480 (there wasn't a 800x480 option) so maybe with Nexuiz @ 640x480 it'll be more playable.

As for the mouse driver, I'm at a loss, I'm using whatever Xubuntu 7.10 comes with

Really want to get Nexuiz playable. There's another person at my work with an eeePC, want to get some lunchtime mini-lans going

Also try messing around with gl_vbo values. The default is 1, 0 shouldn't be faster but 2 may.
