UT2K4 woes in SuSE - solved

**George Harrison** · 08-21-2005

Here is where I am at

Code:

$ut2004
WARNING&#58; ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
Couldn't set video mode&#58; Couldn't find matching GLX visual


History&#58;

Exiting due to error

I was under the impression that SuSE auto configures your video card drivers for you. I have an ATI Radeon 9800 XT, should I just go ahead and install the drivers from the ATI site and risk screwing my whole system? I have gotten UT2K4 to work under Fedora Core 3 before so it is possible, what should I do in this situation? Thanks.

EDIT: here is a bit of glxgears

Code:

$glxgears
1056 frames in 5.0 seconds = 211.200 FPS
598 frames in 5.0 seconds = 119.600 FPS
839 frames in 5.0 seconds = 167.800 FPS
1080 frames in 5.0 seconds = 216.000 FPS
1200 frames in 5.0 seconds = 240.000 FPS
1200 frames in 5.0 seconds = 240.000 FPS
1200 frames in 5.0 seconds = 240.000 FPS
1200 frames in 5.0 seconds = 240.000 FPS
1080 frames in 5.0 seconds = 216.000 FPS
1200 frames in 5.0 seconds = 240.000 FPS
1200 frames in 5.0 seconds = 240.000 FPS
1200 frames in 5.0 seconds = 240.000 FPS
1080 frames in 5.0 seconds = 216.000 FPS
960 frames in 5.0 seconds = 192.000 FPS
960 frames in 5.0 seconds = 192.000 FPS

Just got through playing an intense round of deathmatch

I just had to install the fglrx drivers in init 3 and configure using sax2 and restart X by issuing init 5 and I was in. I launch a Konsole and fire up UT2K4, w00t. The only thing is that it is stuttery at times and hiccups occasionally, not to where I cannot play it but enough to make me really want to go out and buy an Nvidia card
