Hi, the above is the code I get when starting assorted games such as TORCS. I dnt hav a clue what this meens cos Im reletivly new to Linux, but when I try to play TORCS I get rubbish graphics with about 1 frame every 10 seconds. Heres the details of my computer:

Linux Fedora Core 3
PIII 450mhz
192mb ram
120GB really fast HD
Ati AGP Rage 128 pro

When I ran glxgears I got these scores (which Ive heard is bad):

2212 frames in 5.0 seconds = 442.400 FPS
2737 frames in 5.0 seconds = 547.400 FPS

Thanks in advance, Alan.

Have you installed the drivers for your card?

[alancooney]

nope, ati don't have any, where would I get drivers from?

[lakerdonald]

do you know which drivers you are using? and are you using XFree or Xorg?

[Flatline]

If he's using FC3, it should be xorg.

[lakerdonald]

could you post your Xorg.conf?

[alancooney]

How would I do that?

[Flatline]

Open a terminal, then open the xorg.conf file with an editor like vi, pico, or nano. If you have pico installed, the command would be

pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf

. If you want to use vi or nano, just substitute their names where pico is in the above command.

From there, you can just copy and paste the text in the file to a post.

Hello, I currently have the same problem you have, being very annoying to me, as I'm beggining to develop with OpenGL heavy stuff...

I've researched a bit in Google and found that Ati does not have drivers for the Ati Rage 128, but the Direct Rendering Infrastructure project does (in http://dri.sourceforge.net). I've been also said by an informed friend that FC3 released a very generic binary of DRI. So, in order to be able to use fully the video card, one must recompile DRI.

Anyway, this is only a speculation, and I see you don't have too much experience messing with Linux, so I'm going to try this solution and tell you how did it went.

Cheers,

Ciro.
