[gentoo-user] bzflag is broken

2009-09-25 Thread James
Hello,

I recently upgraded ati-drivers to 9.9-r2 also to
xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2


bzflag fails to run from the kde menu.

trying to launch it from the command line yields:
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request 
code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  129 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
  Serial number of failed request:  13
  Current serial number in output stream:  13



So I ran 'equery depgraph --depth=1 bzflag'
and got:
[ Searching for packages matching bzflag... ]

hm,


Since svgalib lists like this:
media-libs/svgalib
 Available versions:  *1.9.25


I'm looking for a little advice on what I should do next.

[gentoo-user] bzflag worbles after recent upgrades to workstation

2009-01-21 Thread James
Hello,


I'm pulling out my hair here. BZflag-2.0.12 use to work great
on Gentoo. The kernel (1.6.27-r7-gentoo) has not changed.
However for about a week now, after a bunch of updates,
xrog*, evdev etc etc, it has very high lag and jitter
over the net.


I can reboot the same system and play bzflag on XP pro
just fine. It use to work great on gentoo, but now
it lags so bad I get booted after a few second on the game
bandwidth is fine (cable modem).

X use to run up the load bad when the problem first occured,
but now that does not seem to happen.

I've rebuild everything I can think of,  to no avail.
From /usr/portage/games-action/bzflag/bzflag-2.0.12.ebuild
it only seems to use a few things:

UIDEPEND=virtual/opengl
virtual/glu
media-libs/libsdl
media-libs/glew
x11-libs/libICE
x11-libs/libSM
x11-libs/libX11
x11-libs/libXau
x11-libs/libXdmcp
x11-libs/libXext
x11-libs/libXi
x11-libs/libXmu
x11-libs/libXt
x11-libs/libXxf86vm

DEPEND==net-misc/curl-7.15.0
sys-libs/ncurses
net-dns/c-ares
sdl? ( ${UIDEPEND} )
!sdl? ( !dedicated? ( ${UIDEPEND} ) )

I have these installed:

ati-drivers 8.561
Xorg-server 1.5.3-r1
xf86-input-evdev 2.1.1
xorg-x11 7.4
kde-meta 3.5.9

On the same hardware, rebooted to XP pro, it's just fine.

Any ideas what to try or mask to get this working again?

[gentoo-user] bzflag

2006-12-18 Thread James
Hello,

I have bzflag working on several systems(yea, it's the new rage
around the office and with the kids in the hood).

But, for some reason it just dies on a amd64 with an ATI-1900 XT
card. I just got the ati-drivers happy on this system. When I fire
up bzflag, it takes control of the screen for a fraction of a second.

I've looked in /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
but nothing there. How do I debug this?

Both version 2.0.4 and 2.0.8 exhibit the same symptoms.  


ideas?


James

Have you made sure you enabled/disabled the proper modules in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and followed the howto?

[gentoo-user] bzflag runs then crashes

2006-11-12 Thread James
Hello,

I have bzflag running quite nicely on a portable
(intel 3GHz p4) with gentoo.
I'm trying to get bzflag  [Installed: 2.0.8]
running an [AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2400+) with 
1.5 M or ram. Both the 2.0.8 and the 2.0.4
versions crash with the same symptoms, so
it seems like the problem is not with bzflag,
but in how glx/aiglx/dri/x/kde/whatever is set up.

Video card is:[GeForce2 MX/MX 400] 

It runs but crashes after about 10 seconds.
Is there a log I should look at for any detailed
information as to why it crashes? When It crashes
it kills off the entire kde login session, and
put the kdm login-in screen back up on the system.
The OS does not reboot the machine, just kde.

It could be the nvidia driver and aiglx or the 
underlying kernel (2.6.17-gentoo-r8) being messed up.

The only error message I get in /var/log/messages is:
Nov 12 20:55:48 crystal kde(pam_unix)[7491]: session
