What distro and what method did you use to install it?
Also check your SDL stuff maybe.

Title: black screen
Post by: jyrgen on July 01, 2007, 10:36:45 am

i'm on ubuntu feisty 7.04
i installed via the application menu, not the console.

what is SDL ?

sorry, i'm a newbie...

i checked /dev/nvidia for having write permission, all ok.

Title: more info
Post by: jyrgen on July 01, 2007, 08:39:14 pm

the device manager in ubuntu tells two nvidia items:

1
nForce2 AGP (different version?)

2
NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU]

####

lsmod:

:~$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia               4713780  22
nvidia_agp              9500  1
i2c_core               22656  3 i2c_ec,nvidia,i2c_nforce2
agpgart                35400  2 nvidia,nvidia_agp

###

glxgears looks ok !

###

sudo nvidia-glx-config enable

Error: your X configuration has been altered.
This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this
not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following
command:
md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section
from nv to nvidia.

###

xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU]"
    Driver         "nvidia"
EndSection

yo, that's it for now. hope u can help !

thanks, jyrgen

Try removing tremulous and installing it from the official installer:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tremulous/tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run?download

Code: [Select]

cd Desktop
chmod +x tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run
sudo ./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run

When it's done do not play the game when asked or you'll mess up the permissions, exit the installer and then start the game with "tremulous" in a terminal.

Post by: jyrgen on July 02, 2007, 04:26:45 am

thanks ! i tried what you suggested, but i didn't have the choice
whether to start the game or not. the installer simply launched
a black window, then my gdm session freezed (like before, but
this time not fullscreen)

what/where are the correct permissions ? can they be set manually ?

thanks ! jyrgen

Title: black screen, but sound
Post by: TinMan on July 02, 2007, 04:28:29 am

sudo chown -R $USER ~/.tremulous

Post by: jyrgen on July 02, 2007, 04:42:18 am

hmm. nothing changed. black window, X-Session freezes.
cheers, jyrgen

Post by: jyrgen on July 02, 2007, 02:13:09 pm

yesterday i tried to install another openGL game torcs,
with the same result : (almost) black screen.

do you have any other idea regarding nvidia drivers ?

should i go for the "legacy" drivers ?

please help. thx, J

Title: black screen, but sound
Post by: TinMan on July 02, 2007, 04:49:28 pm

You have a GeForce4 MX, I think that legacy is only GeForce and GeForce2, but it's still worth a try.

and a geforce 4 mx is an overclocked geforce2

Title: black screen, but sound
Post by: TinMan on July 02, 2007, 05:35:55 pm

o'rly? I never had one. :P
I had an nVidia RIVA TNT2 that was legacy, now I have a GeForce 7900GT  8)

Title: black screen, but sound
Post by: jyrgen on July 02, 2007, 05:55:42 pm

do you guys have any idea what the heck is wrong with
my openGL configuration ?

wrong drivers ?
shitty onboard graphic card ?
misconfiguration of tremulous ?
permission issues ?

i simply don't know where to start...

thx!! J

Title: black screen, but sound
Post by: TinMan on July 02, 2007, 07:06:11 pm

It sounds like you do need to use the nvidia-glx-legacy package, remove the nvidia-glx package and then install the legacy one.

Good luck

i finally managed to install nvidia drivers with help
of this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=393748&page=4

at least i see nvidia splash on X startup

but *still* a blank screen.

here's the terminal output:

does the problem persist because of this :

couldn't exec autoexec.cfg ??

or this:
MODE: 3, 640 x 480 windowed hz:N/A

sudo nvidia-xconfig --allow-glx-with-composite --add-argb-glx-visuals --disable-glx-root-clipping

Wait, composite?! I'm not an nVidia user but doesn't that have something to do with using Beryl? If you use Beryl, stop using it and Tremulous will start working.

beryl ? i don't think i have that.

:~$ beryl
The program 'beryl' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install beryl-core

how can i determine if it's there ?

how do i make sure that it's gone ?

Beryl is 3D desktop (composite window manager). Do you use something like that?

Turn off Desktop Effects.

Do this after you turn it off:

Code: [Select]

tremulous +set r_mode -1 +set r_customwidth 1024 +set r_customheight 768

It might be a resolution issue. nvidia-glx supports the GeforceMX 4(much better than the legacy drivers), so that is not the issue.

in the meantime i checked out other OpenGL games like
OpenArena, torcs, etc.. none of them work ..
so maybe the onboard graphics "card" is f**ked up ?

wierd thing is that glxgears is still running fine,..

best
