Re: [expert] UT2003 and linux
Hi Miark, here we go. The XF86Config-4 file has the Following Section-Module Entry: Section Module # This loads the DBE extension module. Loaddbe # This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables # initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module. Loadextmod SubSection extmod #Option omit xfree86-dga EndSubSection # This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules Loadv4l Loadtype1 Loadfreetype Loadglx #Load dri EndSection Then - in the ut2003 start-script I added the following: #4x Gaussian Anti-Alias sampling export __GL_FSAA_MODE=0 #Maximum Anisotpic Texture Filtering export __GL_DEFAULT_LOG_ANISO=0 #Force VBlank Syncing On export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 That's what makes it fastest from my tests. Of course - all kernel drivers etc. you can compile for the NVidia stuff - compile them yourself. Cheers Joerg Miark wrote: Yes, that would be cool. Thanks.

Hi Miark I got a Athlon 1.3GHz, 512MBytes of Ram and a NVidia Geforce3 Ti500 - and details set to low - I can even go onto huge servers and have not too big problems with speed (24Players). So - It's fast enough for me ;) If you want - I could send you my X-Config file for you to compare. I tweaked around a little bit. I did also set some env.

Re: [expert] UT2003 and linux
And on the subject of fast machines - I have a dual athlon 1900+ system - does UT2003 have the ability to use smp? I'm really annoyed that q3a only enables smp for windows machines - they note some 'bug' that made them decide to disable it in the linux version - I wish they would have just fixed the 'bug'! Anyway, that was one of the reasons I built the dual system, better game action! Mike 12:14am, Ronald J.

RE: [expert] UT2003 and linux
From what I've heard, the Linux drivers are actually better than the Windows drivers. My theory is that somehow your GLX and/or OpenGL drivers are still Mesa. Did you install the NVIDIA-GLX RPM as well? I have a similar system and TuxRacer is really smooth. I would try to rpm -ivh --force both the nvida kernel modules and the glx rpms again and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't work, then try the following: find where the nvidia glx .so's are being installed. You can do this by opening up kpackage and inspecting the file list. in you xfree config file, rather than saying load glx say load nvida glx path/libglx.so my nvidia drivers are located in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions Also, I assume you're using XFree 4.20 and *not* 3.x. If you're using 3.x, I don't think you can get the 3d working with the nvidia cards. Good luck!

Alan, My machine is a Pentium III 800 256Mb RAm and with a Geforce 4 Ti with 64 Mb; the demo is runing in it like a charm.

RE: [expert] UT2003 and linux
I purchased UT2003 at Walmart, there is no mention of Linux on the box but the linux installer is located on CD3, I haven't had a chance to try it myself, I have too much other junk on my HD...and haven't had time to make room :-( ..but I did check CD3 for the installer. http://linuxworld.com.au/article.php3?aid=368tid=8 On Thu, 2002-11-21 at 17:08, JOHAM,DAVID (HP-Boise,ex1) wrote: I thought the Linux release was in the same box as the Windows release, but I can't seem to find any documentation to prove that. In any case, if you're going to buy this, I recommend tuxgames.com. I've dealt with them in the past and have had very good luck. Also, if it isn't Linux, they don't sell it. So it's pretty safe to assume that what you're getting from them will run on your system.

Re: [expert] UT2003 and linux
The third CD of UT2003 has a Linux installer. I couldn't tell you how _well_ it works, but it's there.

Re: [expert] UT2003 and linux
Any performance tips, Alan? I'm running it at 800x600, and with all the detail turned off, or to the lowest setting possible, and the game play still sucks. In WinblowsXP, I run with almost everything turned on or at Normal and at 1280x768 and the game play is smth. I have a GeForce 4 MX 460.

You need to be running a very fast machine with the proprietary nVIDIA drivers (as well as an nVIDIA video card) and lots of memory and disk space. Here are a couple of things to need to know to install it. Have two xterms open. Mount the cdrom from one and do the install on the other. Use the full path to the setup binary. You will need to mount and unmount a number of times during the process. Also there is a difference between what is written on the discs and what the installer calls for. (It thinks that there is a play disc, disc 1 and disc 2 instead of discs 1, 2 3.) Just offset by one and it should work. If it does not like the disc, just try another. ]: BTW, it works great as long as you have a very fast machine. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
