Doom Problem

**bspus** · 09-10-2005

I've been trying to get the original doom working. I'm using FC4. I got the rpm and updated my glibc as was required. Now when I try to execute it I get this:

[root@localhost games]# bash rundoom

It seems that both sound and video are having trouble. Anyone have any clues? At least for those 256-pseudo color screens. What is that?

Have you considered using a different DOOM engine? There are dozens to choose from. My favorite is Doom Legacy. I also strongly caution you not to run everyday applications (including web browsers and games) while logged in as root user. This is a serious security and stability risk.

Thanks. I'm downloading it right now. I'll post back here if any problems appear.
You're right of course about the root stuff. I have linux installed in a non-internet secondary box which I use to familiarise myself with the OS. There is nothing of value in there. Until I decide to install it on my primary machine I wanted to save myself the trouble of su-ing all the time

It still doesnt work. Here is what I get when I run it with open gl

Be sure you have installed Doom Legacy properly.

I know opengl acceleration works on my system. As for the version of the renderer I dont know what I'm supposed to do. Is it included in the package? Do I need to change something in the opengl configuration file? The documentation is not exactly helpful. Most of the stuff there is about the windows version

And here is what I get without opengl

It seems again to have something to do with video. And not completely unrelated to the problems I was getting with the other doom engine. Any clues will be welcome.

Have you installed 3D accelerated drivers for your video card?

**bspus** · 09-15-2005

Yes, I have the latest nvidia drivers. glxinfo reports direct rendering on

That's a problem. DRI should *not* be on with an nvidia card. Have you edited your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and commented out these lines?

Code:

Load "dri"
Load "GLCore"

**bspus** · 09-16-2005

I did that. Just like it said on this guide:

http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...c4.html#nvidia

I commented Load "dri"
Added Load "glx"

Load "GLCore" was not there.

Before the driver update, glxgears performance was very low. Now its 3x previous performance so I know it works
