 Hi

 Anyone managed to run Quake3 in LM8.2?

 In the first part of the initialization, it does find the OpenGL libraries
 and so on. For whatever reason it fails on the sound init.

 note: /dev/dsp exists and I've got sound for other apps or games (eg
 Civ:CTP)

 Any help appreciated.

This is a bit of hack that I had to start using about the time devfs hit, tho 
the connection wasn't confirmed.   I found this script when I was googling 
around for a fix for the same thing.   The instructions are included, and 
even if you get an error during compiling, just try it anyway.  I can't 
recall what the error is, but it didn't effect the scripts usefulness.

void *memset(void *s, int c, int n)
{
char *p = s;
while (n--)
*p++ = c;
return s;
}

then I made up a little bash script to preload it for me (xgamma stuff is to 
lighten screen). 
 
[s@tuxmachine]:s$ cat quake3.sh

xgamma -gamma 2.0

cd /usr/local/games/quake3  LD_PRELOAD=./memset.so ./quake3.x86

Have you tried checking any of the Quake forums or linux-quake sites.

IIRC there is a problem with SBLive cards when the hihgmem option is used.
 
I have run QuakeIII in 8.2 but I use  C-Media on board sound.

[expert] LM8.2 - Quake3 fails on sound initialization...

2002-03-30 Thread falcaraz 

Frederic,
I just had problems with the installation because the XFree86-libs
wasn't installed before, but now is runing like a charm. I have a
Pentium III 800 with 256Mb Ram, a Voodoo3 3000 and a CreativeLab 128 PCI
(AC97 on board is dissabled). 

Perhaps if your sound is runing fine for other games could be a good
idea the comment of Charles about Quake forums; nevertheless if Quake 3
worked for you under mandrake 8.1 the problem could be different.

sorry I can't help more...:-(
