AO Linux HOWTO

**Fekal** · Aug 28th, 2004, 14:16:26

Got AO running now, slow and no sound but it's something to start with..

**Fekal** · Aug 28th, 2004, 15:33:59

Sound works now, changed ~/.aocedega/config to use oss drivers instead.
AO is painfully slow in full screen( 2-3 fps), faster in window mode (20-25 fps).

Gonna play around some more....

Works in Alien beta also.

Thanks a lot man, great work, and see if you can convince the transgaming people to include this in their releases

I just wanted to say "Thank you!" to Bounsar and Elmer.

Thanks to you two I just finished my first ever AO session in Linux.

Its a first attempt, but I should have something usable by the end of this week.

Bounsar,

You are definitely the man! Having a tool like that will make life so much easier, which I'm sure you already know.

Just wondering, has anyone tried running AO through VMWare Workstation on Linux.

I run Linux on VMWare through XP, but I don't have a Linux host system. Just wondering if anyone's tried...

ATI just updated linux drivers, anyone care to try yet ?

last driver update:

Date posted: 08/05/04

3.11.1 is the last version from too long time now :/

Edit:
Btw Morb, if you have a radeon, could you post your XFree86 conf here ? I might be interested to have a look on it

**Shivx** · Sep 3rd, 2004, 19:58:17

unless slashdot is really slow on this one

**Lhylhy** · Sep 3rd, 2004, 20:03:26

Hmmmm, they "refreshed" the driver but keep the same version (?)

Anyway, I'm currenlty downloading it, I'll check if any change with my fps :]

Edit:
Filesize is different:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3856584 Sep 4 21:06 fglrx_4.3.0-4.11_i386.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3856630 Sep 1 01:20 fglrx_4.3.0-4.11_i386.deb.old

Ok, just (re)installed the ATI driver and logged quickly ingame before the downtime.

I didn't notice big change.. still between 10/20 fps.

Morb's patch got more effect on it (I was below 10 fps before applied his patch).

I'll try to tune my XFree and Wine setup now, maybe I'll get 2,3 fps more

Did anyone here install from the AI cds and still get it running with cedega?

I didn't hear about it working in linux until the day AI came out, so i never tried it before.

I'd like to thank Marius for trying his best to help me out on IRC the other night, he managed to trace it down to the call being made to load clientr.exe and it never being returned, hence the game just halts when the "play" button is pressed.

I installed aocedega from the bash script by ElmerFudd, and it all seemed to go fine, no errors whatsoever.

I was just wondering if everyone here just installed AI from the huge patch on Wednesday or if anyone has it running with an install/upgrade from the AI cds.

Nice Work ;o)
But when I try to start the game ...

Code:

fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_update_texture_stage_states unsupported texture stage state 9  (BUMPENVMAT10), value=0x00000000
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_update_texture_stage_states unsupported texture stage state 1 0 (BUMPENVMAT11), value=0x00000000
(...spam...)
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_update_texture_stage_states unsupported texture stage state 9  (BUMPENVMAT10), value=0x00000000
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_update_texture_stage_states unsupported texture stage state 1 0 (BUMPENVMAT11), value=0x00000000

... and finally stopped with ...

Code:

err:ddraw:D3D_GL_setup_fixed glGetError returns 00000500 for setup_fixed
X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContextState
  Major opcode of failed request:  144 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
  Serial number of failed request:  6032
  Current serial number in output stream:  6032

Using: Fedora C2, Nvidia Card

Do you know any solutions?

**kumagan** · Sep 5th, 2004, 18:45:25

Code:

rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL

This is what conflicted with my drivers.

Thanks marius ;oP
