One other thing that catches my attention. Somewhere in the lines of the startup is a comment about falling back to the Mesa drivers. I do believe this is default for Q3A. Howvever, on that note It is highly recommended that you "do not" have the Mesa and nVidia drivers installed at the same time. If you do have both drivers install then this may very well be the problem since these two drivers conflict and cause problems for each other. If the mesasoft drivers are installed remove them with "rpm -e meassoft" and see if gears and Q3A will run (you may have to restart and/or issue command "swithch2nvidia_glx") If you indeed had mesa drivers on and removed them and things still don't seem right reinstall the nVidia drivers (since on some systems installing nVidia drivers with mesasoft drivers present will hose the nvidia driver installation). If you need to reinstall the nVidia drivers try any or both of these methods. rpm -Uhv NVIDIA_GLX-blahblahblah.rpm and the same for the kernel drivers. If this doesn't seem to do the trick, then try rpm -Uhv NVIDIA_GLX-blahblah.rpm --nodeps --force rpm -Uhv NVIDIA_kernel-blahblah.rpm --force HTH, Curtis On Thursday 13 June 2002 03:32, clifford wrote:
Yes i know it's a tired and used problem and i've searched the net on = this one but the answers i receive just don't seem to work so here goes.
I'm running SuSE 7.2 using the latest GeForce 2 (Creative Titanium) with = the latest Nvidia drivers (downloaded from Nvidia's site).
When i run quake3, i get the following:

I *DO* have a 640x480 mode on my machine and i can switch to it using = the ctrl+Alt+(+/=3D) key combo. However when setting it thru sax2, the = viewport is always too small for it. By this i mean that when using = 640x480, the whole screen moves when i move the mouse to any corner of = the screen.
Another thing. When i try to run /usr/bin/gears i get the message : GLUT: Fatal Error in gears: visual with necessary capabilities not = found.
If anybody has any ideas, i'd be most gratefull.
For completeness i'm pasting my *enitire* XF86Config file below.
