Unreal Tournament and Voodoo 3 troubles

[saturn-vk]

i cant seem to be able to play it on a slack 9 machine with a voodoo 3. when i try glide, it goes into an endless loop with this error:


Glide:Color buffers 3 failed, falling back...
grSstOpen failed (2, 3)


mix and repeat


opengl is unplayably slow (although warcraft 3 seems to be running just fine.

To play UT on a voodoo3 you have to adhere to these rules:

Colour depth of 16
max screen res of 1024x768

If your 3d acceleration is working ok, then the above should work ;)

If not, post the results of glxinfo

still nothing though

[TheGimp]

1) GlideDrv requires glide2x
2) glide2x requires XFree86 3.3.x

[saturn-vk]

so even though i have compiled glide2x, it will not work unless used under Xfree 3.x?. this sucks.

is it possible to install a small version of XFree 3.3 in conjugation with Xfree 4.3? (all i need is X and xterm to start ut anyway.)

[Raoul_Duke]

I use glide3 and xfree 4.2.1

I have a voodoo3.......it's fine for me :confused:

Maybe to do with refresh rates :confused:

[saturn-vk]

i have some favors to ask Raoul_Duke

first, can you post your "Scree" Section in your XFree86 config file

second, are you playing UT1 with Glide using only glide3x? can you give me a link to the source/package of your specific version so i can use it?? (or maybe upload it if you dont remember where you got it from or it is from a distro cd)

thx


edit: cancel that, can you post your full Xfree86 config file :)

[Raoul_Duke]
