PPracer works, glxgears works. americas army and chromium all work.......I do have serious problems with anything sdl related though, could that be relevant?


Thanks for ANY help in this matter.

In worst case you can compile the -glx version from the darkplacesengine*.zip file included with Nexuiz. That should work. Just extract it and run make in the new DarkPlaces directory. You have to make sure you have the required libs though..
I'm not sure if there is much to configure for sdl.. hope the linux pros have more ideas

[squimmy]

I downloaded it in a package from the mandriva package repository, so I didn't compile it. Should I try compiling it from source?

Try to download the zip file from http://www.nexuiz.com/index.php?module=downloads first. The build date of the engine and the filename data20050818-full.pk3 indicate that mandriva still has Nexuiz 1.2 in its repository. You won't be able to play with that on 1.5 servers anyway and perhaps that'll fix your problem.

[squimmy]

Unforunately it doesn't work. But I notice that the download has no opengl version, just a sdl version, I know sdl doesn't work, so can I not get a gl version?

Anyway, here's the result again

Unforunately it doesn't work. But I notice that the download has no opengl version, just a sdl version, I know sdl doesn't work, so can I not get a gl version?

You'll have to compile it yourself. Just unzip nexuizenginesource20060213.zip, open a xterm, cd to your Nexuiz/darkplaces directory and enter "make nexuiz".
(for everything to work you need to have gcc, make and headers (-dev or -devel packages) for libjpeg, libpng, libsdl and xorg)

[squimmy]

I did that and it compiled fine with no errors (surprisingly). But when I run ./nexuiz-glx I get the same message as I did in my first post .

[KadaverJack]

Hm, do you know how to use gdb? It would be helpful if we had a backtrace of your segfault.

In case you're not familiar with gdb:
1) install gdb
2) open a xterm and go to your Nexuiz/darkplaces folder again
3) enter "make clean; make debug; cp darkplaces-glx ../nexuiz-glx; cd .."
4) now enter "gdb ./nexuiz-glx" and when you see the line starting with "(gdb)" enter "run -window"
5) when nexuiz crashed, you will see the gdb input line again. enter "bt" and post its output here. (to quit gdb, press ctrl+d)

PPracer works, glxgears works. americas army and chromium all work.......I do have serious problems with anything sdl related though, could that be relevant?

Been a while since I used Linux, but last I checked Chromium BSU, AA (based on ut200x engine), and PPracer (based off TuxRacer GPL) - they all use SDL

I've actually used ATI binary drivers in Linux before and have a few ideas. Is your SDL built against Mesa's GL or the ATI's GL? Whichever it is try the opposite. You could also try uninstalling the ATI drivers and reinstalling Mesa's version, and then rebuild _everything_ against Mesa. Some apps/libs have problems when linked against ATI's GL (did when I used it).

The easiest [safest] way to do the later is to disable X on boot (boot to con), backup X's config file > uninstall ATI > reinstall Mesa > REBOOT. You have to reboot or the old ones [even tho non-existant] could still get referenced (they shouldn't but they *are*). Where you build doesn't matter - boot to console again and do quick builds is fastest, if you know Mesa got installed/setup properly. Then just reinstall ATI drivers/GL > X's config > reboot into X.

So the second one is more time-consuming, but it may be easier than trying to debug Nexuiz

[ds01]

Also I noticed your GL version:

^7GL_VERSION: 1.3.5519 (X4.3.0-8.20.8)

The current ATI driver is 8.23.7, did you try the latest release? (I understand if there is a reason an older release works better for you, or if ATI forgot to update their strings.)

I also noticed the version installed is the XFree86 4.3.0 driver. ATI is quite picky about releasing different drivers built against the different versions of XF86/Xorg. Did you use their new installer, or just one of their RPM? Make sure the versions match.
