Re: [newbie] Ndivia TNT2 and UT2003

2002-09-22 Thread Kirtis Bakalarczyk
Unfortunately TNT2's don't support S3TC texture compression under Linux (It only works in windows because directx emulates it) So you're just gonna have to get a new video card which would have been a good idea anyway because UT2K3 would run REALLY slow on a TNT2. l8r, KIRT On Sun, 22 Sep

With mesa-4.0.2 you need to use kernel=2.4.18.6mdk I am assuming you are using an ATI vid card. oops... they should warn people about that. I'm currently using kernel 2.4.8 with a Nvidia TNT2. *sigh* I guess this means that it's kernel upgrade time Want to buy your Pack or

2002-05-02 Thread Kirtis Bakalarczyk
I have a small problem that hopefully will have a small answer... I'm currently using fluxbox and i'd like to be able to use all those nifty dockable apps that go into the slit and as far as i can tell, the way to do that is to add a line into my .xinitrc file, but unfortunately mandrake sets

For some reason that is unknown to me my CD-ROM refuses to work in linux and i know it isn't a hardware problem because it works fine in windows. And i know it isn't that it isn't mounted or something like that because it produces a whole slew of errors at boot time. I've struggled with this

2002-04-22 Thread Kirtis Bakalarczyk
I downloaded the source and did the old ./configure make make install... And since the option was available at the login manager i assumed it was all hunky dory. Apparently not... I checked and i actually don't have an .xinitrc. So is there a really specific format or can i just use the
