Hi all,

I was wondering if nexuiz is running on my new EEE with integrated Intel GMA 950 Graphics - and luckily It seems to run very well in low graphic settings

Theres only one problem with screen flickering, sometimes its messing up the screen ..

I there any solution to this, maybe a additional command line in config.cfg ?

edit: problem solved

The bad news: i also got the flickering after mapchanges, so it seems to be a driver bug, which we can't fix (however i'll try to report it to intel)

The good news: there is a workaround. open the control panel, there should be an icon called "Intel(R) GMA driver" (or something like that), double click it. Click on "3D Setting" (dunno how it's called exactly, i don't have an english version of the driver). You should see a window similar to this:

Make shure "Flipping-Policy" is set to "Blit".

That fixed it for me, i hope, it'll work for you, too.

Respect you try to play nexuiz on EEE.

on EEE Pc..
How does it look like?
Can you do a Screenshot, best from the overall eeePC with Nexuiz running?

(please no Mockup, you nerds)

First of all, remember that there are 3 basic models of the Eee PC when it comes to performance:
The 700 series (~600 mhz celeron-m, Intel GMA 900)
The 900 (900 mhz celeron-m, intel GMA 900)
the 901 and 1000 series (1.6 ghz atom, Intel GMA 950) (The standard netbook)

I have a 901.
On Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit with the getdeb packages, it is mostly playable. It goes fairly smoothly on low effects at 800x600, but seeing other bots/players really lags it up. Maybe there is some graphics setting that can be fiddled with. I tried fiddling with GLSL 2.0 shaders and VBOs, but to no avail.

EDIT: On another thread it says to turn off particles. i was able to lower their quality from .2 to .1 or whatever, but that didn't help much. I didn't see an option to turn them off.

Given the very large consumer base of netbooks and their relative low performance and disk space, it would be worth changing from the vanilla Nexuiz to make a netbook specific one, pretty much like the old TinyNex idea. Resize the textures down, downsample the audio, drop the sources and compile the engine with -march=pentium4 for the Celeron based ones and -march=nocona for the Atom based ones.

This would get you a bit more performance and reduce the disk footprint.

Try setting "gl_picmip" to a higher number, and make sure reduce model texture only isn't checked? This made some maps I had poor performance on playable for me.

Edit: I also have this flickering problem, but I can't get to the option they used to correct it. I guess this has something to do with my onboard card?
