Nouveau Gallium - almost got it

[bob]

Playing a bit with Nouveau and, after installing mesa-dri-drivers-experimental.i686 , I have Compiz running quite nicely with my long-in-the-tooth Nvidia GeForce 6200 card. Glxgears also shows respectable results, but any attempts to run an actual 3D game result in:

[bob@localhost sauerbraten]$ ./sauerbraten_unix
Using home directory: /home/bob/.sauerbraten
init: sdl

Rendering using the OpenGL GLSL shader path.
init: console

Any clues?

Hi

Have you tried say Nexuiz?

[bob]

Hi Rahul;

No joy with Nexuiz either: (/var/log/messages):

It may be the card, Leigh was having problems with Compiz with a 7500. I've got a 9800 and have no problems (so far). I still haven't put up games myself, but AdamW's blog had quite a few listed.

[bob]

Well, compiz is working fine. It's just the glitch on the games for me.

Hi

3D support is current a set of backported patches and if the DRM/Mesa library doesn't match, it won't work. Wait for the next set of libdrm or kernel updates and try again.

I got it working on my 7600GS. Man it has been a good year since I used this system with any regularity. Now I HATE my 8000 series stuff. The fonts on 7 series cards is WAY nicer. Plus 7 series cards chew opengl because they have a real pipeline and not a sort of faked adhoc one that happens when a bunch of general purpose stuff comes together and pretends to be a pipeline.
