iamroot 0 Posted June 17, 2004 Most graphics cards by NVIDIA or ATI shouldn't have a problem. However to fully enable openGL and 3D optimization, u have to install drivers which currnelt have problem with FC2. For NVIDIA cards that is. Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted June 17, 2004 iamroot, is it a problem just with Fedora 2, or are the present nvidia drivers not compatible with X.org? Share this post Link to post
mitrado 0 Posted June 17, 2004 Hello! I use Mandrake 10 (with some Cooker Packages) and I also have troubles with Nvidia drivers since I've upgraded to X.org All Mesa/OpenGL programs now simply lead to a X server crash, also with gcc 3.4 I can't even re-run the nvidia installer (I have to downgrade to gcc 3.3 for it to complete its setup properly) So I had to choose ... NVidia driver without Mesa, or Mesa without NVidia driver Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted June 17, 2004 I was able to get Half-Life to run, with the 2.6 kernel, but it runs like it used to when using the nv drivers rather than the "nvidia" drivers under the 2.4 kernel. Thus, I think the problem with games is not with the 2.6 kernel, but rather with the stock X.org "drivers." Share this post Link to post
iamroot 0 Posted June 19, 2004 It's with the 2.6 kernel. At least thats what it says on the nvidia web-site. You can solve the problem by recompilling the kernel and disabling some stacks. Anyway how did u install half-life? Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted June 19, 2004 I already had HL installed under Core 1. When I installed Core 2 on another partition on my HD, I pointed it to my existing /home directory as the one it should use which already had HL installed at ~/.transgaming/c_drive/SIERRA/Half-Life. Winex3 installed without a problem under Core 2. Under Core 2, HL ran extremely stilted. The exact same way it runs under the 2.4 kernel without 3-D and opengl supported drivers, or running the "nv" drivers. Does this mean there is either presently or very soon to be 3-D and opengl support for X.org and 2.6? Share this post Link to post
