Yes, I have tried typing in:

Code: [Select]

tremulous +set r_allowSoftwareGL1Also, I know almost nothing about coding or computers or using Ubuntu in general. Please help me with some simple steps to getting Tremulous working.

Ok, so my video card came up in my terminal like this:

Code: [Select]

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1
What now? Does this mean I should get a Restricted Driver?

No, that means you should get a different video card. CyberBlade might work well for simple 2D desktop but it's too weak for any 3D gaming. If you still want to try, there's a space you've missed:

Code: [Select]

tremulous +set r_allowSoftwareGL 1

[Kitsune]

No, that means you should get a different video card. CyberBlade might work well for simple 2D desktop but it's too weak for any 3D gaming.

I see. That makes sense. Thanks! Now I just have to be able to afford one.
