So, I'm running Gentoo with a GeForce4 MX... I'm fully patched, but the moment I click "Play Vendetta" nothing happens but I hear the game. It's like it's not creating the window... I've emerged the newest version of GTK+ and have GLX and everything working fine. Any ideas?

Note: I'm pretty new at Unix in general.

Do glxgears or any other 3d games run properly?

Have you installed (emerge) nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx?

Remember that you need to re-install nvidia-kernel each time you update the kernel.

Don't forget (if you update Xfree for example) to do "opengl-update nvidia"

( thats about all the Gentoo specifics wrt. nvidia that I can remember right now )

Steps for successful NVIDIA config:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
modprobe nvidia
echo 'nvidia' >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/"kernel-`uname -r | cut -b -3`"
opengl-update nvidia
$EDITOR /etc/X11/XF86Config

// Change the driver to "nvidia" and add "Load glx"

(OT, I know)
Now you make me wonder... How many of the Linux users here run Gentoo? ;)

Not even the slightest accolades for my ingenious use of uname and cut... I'm hurt.

OT: at least 2.

I seem to have exactly the same problem.

run vendetta, cpu gets eaten, music plays, but no game interface

nice background music while working though :-p


I am too running Gentoo and have everything setup correctly, glx, nvidia, sound, everything (ut2004 works for example)


vendetta doesnt seem to have command line options

Hmm. what video card do you have, znirkel?

GeForce4 Ti 4400

Seems fine. Don't look like errors. Last message is what is indeed playing.

Thats all the info the game generates.

Adding

Load "extmod"

to XF86Config in the modules section solved it for me.


My current Module section is:

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "drm"
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
Load "extmod"
Load "dbe"
EndSection


It used to be just "glx". But after reading this board I added the rest, and figured that "extmod" made the difference for Vendetta.
