Linux demo

Post by rams »

Looking very good, indeed.

However I cannot run the game in full-screen mode (runs ok windowed). I get the following error:

Setting sound driver: Default
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 144 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 133
Current serial number in output stream: 133


The distro is Debian (x86) and I have NVIDIA gforce 6800 GT gfx card + nvidia's own drivers.

Almost certainly this is a driver issue, relating to an OpenGL conflict.

Do you have Compiz or some other desktop effects turned on? Try turning it off. If that doesn't help, I would suggest trying a different driver set.

Make sure you have 800x600 enebled in xorg.conf, it should look something like this:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7800 GT]"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
depth 24
virtual 1280 1024
modes "1280x1024@60" "1280x960@60" "1024x768@60" "1024x768@70" "800x600@60" "800x600@56" "640x480@60"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root, then restart X for the changes to take effect.

Re-download the Demo, rams. The original version post wouldn't run full screen and ran way too fast - BasiliskWrangler rapidly replaced it with a properly working version.

I did download it, but the problem persists. However I have been playing the demo without any problems on my laptop and I really like the game very much.

This display problem occurs in a system I use rarely for gaming and at least I noticed that recent system update had overwritten the (symbolic link to NVIDIA driver) libglx.so file. I fixed this but it does not help much. Anyway, the system uses 2 displays as one and the 800x600 resolution is not enabled. So I guess that is the problem, but I am too lazy to fix it as I play it mainly on my other computer anyway.
