Newbie Linux: UT on Mandrake 8.2 help

[IcePhoenix]

I am just getting into this Linux thing, and am having trouble getting UT to run. I installed both nVIdia drivers. I installed UT: GOTY using Loki's installer, and when I run the game, this is the message I get:

Unreal engine initialized
Bound to SDLDrv.so
Joystick [0] : Unknown Joystick
SDLClient initialized.

I am running 1200 AMD Thunderbird, 3D Prophet Geforce 2 MX. Any way you guys can help me, I appriciate it. Thanks 🙂

Did you restart X windows after installing the drivers?

 

[IcePhoenix]

Yup, restarted a few times. Still nothing.

Try rpm -e the Nvidia drivers. reinstall them and then depmod -a
Do any other games requiring 3D acceleration fail?
And have you edited your XFree86-4 file?

Do I have to? See, this is why the title is NEWBIE Linux lol. Sorry 🙁

 

[EHobaX]

Yeah. The mandrake 8.2 install doesn't put hardware acceleration in it.
I had to go through that about a month ago. 😛

In your XFree86-4 file in the Modules section, put

Load "glx"

and where it has the info about your video card, change

"nv" to "nvidia"

 

[IcePhoenix]

I did that, and when I restarted X, it froze. When I rebooted, my settings were gone. 🙁

 

[EHobaX]

I'd recommend going to here.
It's the nVidia discussion forum for Linux drivers. I found my solution there. If you read through the threads,
you might find an answer to your problem as well.

Thanks, I'll check it out. The fact that I am running dual monitors, AGP nVidia, and PCI Rage 3D hinder?
