Fedora Core 4

[gwarbot]

I am going crazy, can someone tell where I can get some updates specifically in rpm files or how I can update thorugh my console. I am sick of running allover the internet looking for programs. If there Is a site I can search for rpms built for fc4 that would be great.

You might start with www.fedorafaq.org although I think it has not been updated for version 4 of Fedora.

Edit: this is just to get to know Fedora, not to address your problem with Unreal specifically. Maybe try Unreal tech support?

test with glxgears before you get frustrated.

 

[gwarbot]

ok ill do that

 

[gwarbot]

After a clean install of the drivers and editing the xconfig file

I tried glxgears but i didnt work anyone have a suggestion?
[root@localhost ~]# glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
glxgears: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.

 

[xcript]

Post your xorg.conf (or XF86Config).

Hmm, looks good to me. Have you restarted X since you added "glx" to the module section?

If so, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep -i glx and see if it's having any problems loading GLX when it starts up.

 

[gwarbot]

After restarting X it worked.
[root@localhost ~]# glxgears
30043 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6008.600 FPS

 

[gwarbot]

Should I set X to boot automaticaly or should I boot it from the command interface, (multi user mode) when I start my computer.

Personal preference. I prefer generally to have to type startx, but on my laptop I use a graphical login manager.

Depending on the situation one may be easier or more convientent then the other.

 

[gwarbot]
