  • Rune and Unreal Tournament on G400...

    Hey, I recently bought Rune for Linux, and I have had Unreal Tournament since just after it came out, but haven't had much luck with getting UT to run decently under linux, and now that I have Rune, it runs... well ok... it runs a bit smoother than UT did, but still it doesn't run as well as it should. Any ideas? I'm running Mandrake 8.1b3 (haven't tried the RC1 yet, have had no reasons too, everything is working great so far.) I have a Marvel G400 in my machine right now.. I tried running rune in 32 bit color, and it just locked up my machine. Any ideas? I have AGPMode set to 4 already, and that did help a little. I'm playing in 640x480, at 16bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Oh, on a side note, I downloaded the Return to Castle Wolfenstein for both linux and windows.... the linux version runs ok... a bit too choppy for my tastes, much like UT and Rune, but the windows version wouldn't even load under XP. TAKE THAT MICROSOFT!!!

    What version of XFree?
    What version of the mga driver?

    Does lsmod say that you have the agpgart module running?

    And you should really only consider 16bpp. Marvels only have 16MB onboard, if I remember correctly.

      Oops, should have put all that stuff in, Xfree86 4.1.0, and yes all the MGA stuff is loaded in. GLX is working, I get about 940 fps in Gears. Yes you're correct that the Marvel only has 16mb of ram (which is why it occured to me that DRI does not work in 32bit mode when I'm in my default desktop resolution of 1600x1200) Also an interesting bug in Return to castle wolfenstein, the textures will turn blue, and blue striped. I'm trying to remember if it does that in Rune as well, but I don't think it did. Well, not to the great degree it did in RtCW.
