How do we go about updating the amd64 howto guide?
For those that are interested here's what I did in a nutshell. (don't
take literally, I don't have my machine in front of me now.)
Nvidia setup: from
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html
NOTE -- do not use the nvidia installer! This breaks thinks and
makes your life hard later. This way works well to since once setup, if
you get a new kernel run m-a auto-install nvidia and your back and running!
|apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-common
|m-a prepare
m-a auto-install nvidia
(not sure if m-a sets it up, but you may need to set CC=gcc-4.0
or whatever version your kernel is compiled with (cat /proc/version)
apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-ia32 (spelling) (make sure
you install all the samer version! mixing broke ut2004 for me)
Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
* In the "Module" section, be sure that you have a line
|Load "glx" |
and remove or comment out (prepend with a #) any lines that
refer to the "dri" or "GLCore" modules.
* In the "Device" section for your video card, be sure you have
a line
|Driver "nvidia"|
Make sure you have access to nvidia, was default for me, but you may
need to add yourself to the video group
UT2004 32 bit -- Default is 32 bit. May run ok if you install
nvidia-glx-ia32
UT2004 64 bit --
Make sure you have the latest patch for 64 bit support
Changed ut2004.sh to call amd64 binary (somthing like
bin/ut2004-amd64
Move the openal.o to openal.o.old
ln -s /usr/lib/openal.o openal.o (localtion is probably wrong
here, and it's maybe libopenal.o) (without this sound don't work on
64 bit)
