Tremulous - trouble...

[rpl]

After clicking on the game icon, I'm presented with this message:

Your system currently is not capable of hardware accelerated 3D. Therefore tremulous cannot run.

Usually the cause of this error is that there are no Free Software drivers for your graphics card, please contact your graphics card manufacturer and kindly ask them to provide Free Software support for your card.

Has anyone else had a similar problem? What's the best way to resolve this...?

Thanks in advance

Hello:
Assuming you installed it with yum / pirut?

What type of video card do you have and have you installed the 3rd party drivers for it ?

Please try
> glxcheck

In my case it complained that the device files could not be written too. I had to adapt /dev/nv* to be able to use them.

[FriedChips]

please post:

/sbin/lspci | grep VGA
rpm -qa | grep kmod
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
glxinfo

that should get us started

Hey, thanks to those who've posted replies.

FriedChips,

Okay, that's all of it. Are you willing to explain what all this means?

[rpl]

I thank you for any further help.

[Seve]

Hello:
You need to install the nVidia drivers for your video card.
Your video card is supported by nVidia with the 96.43.xx drivers
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...ppendix-a.html
You can install these drivers with yum using the livna repository.
http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/
Install the repository first, by clicking on the appropriate rpm installation on the above link and select Open with Software Installer (default)
Once it is finished, from a terminal logged in as root
yum install kmod-nvidia-96xx
Once that is finished, either re-start your Xserver or reboot and you should be good to go.

Seve

[Thetargos]

Only to add that you can also install the driver from Priut (Add/Remove Software in your menu), all you have to do is search for kmod-nvidia-96xx, and it will behave exactly like yum, resolve the deps and all.

[rpl]

Thanks guyz!

I followed Seve's instructions and it works perfectly!

Thanks a lot!

Any ideas?

[scottro]

Hrrm, well, Seve's instructions are from a long time ago. I'm not sure if you should stick to this thread, (which ended almost two years ago---well, a year and three quarters, anyway), or start a new one.

See if anyone offers help in this thread, and if not, start a new one.

Thank you for reminding.

I've solved my problem.

Maybe I should post the solution here:

It's simple , reinstall catalyst driver should be Okay.

Thank you , scottro.

[scottro]

And thank *you* for coming back and posting your solution. It means we now have a current answer, as well as one that's rather old.
