Problem with CentOS 4.3 & ATI Radeon X600
« on: May 30, 2006, 06:13:26 pm »
Greetings,

I'm trying to get Tremulous going on a Dell OptiPlex GX620 running CentOS 4.3 with ATI PCI Express Radeon X600 video card... after having much success with Fedora Core 5 and nVidia cards.

ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B62 [Radeon X600 (PCIE)]

So, glxinfo shows that hardware rendering is working.  I added some additional video modes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf to cover the 800x600 it starts in by default.  I created /usr/local/games/tremulous/base/autoexec.cfg and added the desired default resolution (1280x1024) but it just goes to a black screen and stays there.  I switch over to VC1 and kill it and get the following info in the shell window I ran it from:

---- finished R_Init ----
Initializing SDL audio driver...
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x09f87f70 ***
Received signal 6, exiting...
---- CL_Shutdown ----
RE_Shutdown ( 1 )
DOUBLE SIGNAL FAULT: Received signal 15, exiting...

The signal 15 is me killing it from VC1.

I know accelerated video is working because Neverball works fine... although I have to run it as root.

Oddly enough, after killing Tremulous the mouse is dead and I have to log out of X, making xorg restart... before it works again.  USB mouse.

I'm not sure if it is sound... mouse... OpenGL... or what.  Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, it works just fine on the Windows side of the machine and I'd really like to get the Linux side going.

Oh... and where can I find a config guide so I know what things I can tweek in the autoexec.cfg and other .cfg files?
