[expert] Nvidia runing but...

2002-10-25 Thread Francisco Alcaraz Ariza
Dear Friends,
I finally bought a Creative Blaster 4 Titanium 4200 with the Nvidia Geforce4 
Ti chip. Thanks to the comments in this list and the expert one the 
installation was very easy.
First I edited initab to put the text mode star; then I installed the two rpm 
nvidia files and also the nvtv file; I activated harddrake service and stoped 
the computer.
Then I made the change of my Voodoo3 3000 and I put the new video-card in the 
AGP slot. I started again Mandrake and harddrake erase the Voodo3 3000 
installation. From the console as root I started XFdrake and few seconds 
later I had my new card instaled with DRI runing.

Now I am testing several programes: tuxracer impressive, xine fine, Armagetron 
and Chromium runing fine.

But I have found two problems:

1) Quake III looks awfull; perhaps I need to select some special graphic 
characteristics; the videos and demos look very nice, but when I start to 
play the graphics are very bad.

2) With nvtv (tv-output) I can see the colors bars in my tv, but when I try to 
send the whole screen to the tv just a white screen. Perhaps I need to change 
something in the XFree86 Config files.

Any help will be welcome; thanks a lot in advance for your help.

[expert] Nvidia runing but: QuakeIII solved

2002-10-25 Thread Francisco Alcaraz Ariza
Well, 
The problem with Quake III (and also doom) was the configuration in 24 bits; I 
put it at 16 color bits and now both are runing fine.

Just need some help to the nvtv output; I will try the options in the 
nvidia.pdf file about linux installation I downloaded some days ago.
