Hello
The previous ET thread on this list got me interested, so I
downloaded the game. I then installed it as root. Now, it behaves all
right when I run it as root but otherwise it refuses to start. When run
with the option "+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1" mentioned below, it does
actually start but runs incredibly slow. Does anyone know a remedy?
I don't see the reason for the line "libGL error: failed to open DRM:
Operation not permitted", since the file powervr.o in
/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm is readable to all.
Or could DRM mean something else?
I'm running mdk 9.1 and the graphics card is a Hercules 3D Prophet 4500
(Kyro II chipset from PowerVR).
Can someone please help? I don't look forward to go on-line as root :-(
