On my Computer are a Voodoo3 2000 graphikcard, a amd k2-5oo and suse linux6.4 . all graphics rpm from suse are installed and mesa-3.2 from a download from mesa.org. I know not much about linux and a have many problems with the englich language . After the start by ./tuxracer the program type's " No default configuration 'mesa3.1' in init file _GlideInitEnvironment : libglide2x.so expected Vodoo Rush, none detected " please give me help - thanks |

The 'Voodoo RUSH' is a much older card than the Voodoo-3 - so an out-of-date GLIDE seems possible. You should either; * Upgrade to Xfree 4.0.1 and use the new DRI Mesa implementation. Or: * Use a Mesa 3.1 or 3.2 with (IIRC) GLIDE 2.6 or later. I'm not an expert on this - but you should be able to find what you need on http://www.linux3d.org or http://www.mesa3d.org -- Steve Baker HomeEmail: <sjb...@ai...> WorkEmail: <sj...@li...> HomePage : http://web2.airmail.net/sjbaker1 Projects : http://plib.sourceforge.net http://tuxaqfh.sourceforge.net http://tuxkart.sourceforge.net http://prettypoly.sourceforge.net |

I'd recommend going this route. I have the same card as you, am running SuSE 6.4, and am having good results with this. http://linux.3dfx.com has RPM packages (perhaps out of date) -- unfortunately that site seems to be down at the moment.

Jasmin: Did you by any chance get a *huge* Linux magazine through the mail - entirely in Japanese with no covering letter - nothing? I ask because (obviously) I did - and I was wondering why anyone would go to all that trouble...especially since I can't read a single word of Japanese! Having looked through the pictures on every single one of the 110 or so pages, I noticed - right at the back - a *tiny* thumbnail screenshot from Tux-A Quest for Herring - with my name and the title in English and about three lines of squiggles that I can't understand. Right above that was another thumbnail shot - this time of TuxRacer - with your name and more squiggles. None of the other articles looked like I've had anything to do with them. I find it hard to believe they sent copies to all of the hundred or more games authors that they listed like that - but I can't think of any other explanation. If you got a copy too - then that must be it - if you didn't then I'm still *really* puzzled! They obviously went to some trouble to do the screen shots - neither the TuxAQFH or TuxRacer photo's were 'standard' ones on the respective web sites. They'd obviously run the games and picked new places to snap photos. Now I just wonder what they said about our respective works! -- Steve Baker HomeEmail: <sjb...@ai...> WorkEmail: <sj...@li...> HomePage : http://web2.airmail.net/sjbaker1 Projects : http://plib.sourceforge.net http://tuxaqfh.sourceforge.net http://tuxkart.sourceforge.net http://prettypoly.sourceforge.net |

Yes, I did get that. I also got another one a few months earlier -- a different magazine but from the same publisher. > I ask because (obviously) I did - and I was wondering why anyone > would go to all that trouble...especially since I can't read a > single word of Japanese! > > Having looked through the pictures on every single one of the > 110 or so pages, I noticed - right at the back - a *tiny* thumbnail > screenshot from Tux-A Quest for Herring - with my name and the title > in English and about three lines of squiggles that I can't understand. > > Right above that was another thumbnail shot - this time of TuxRacer > - with your name and more squiggles. > > None of the other articles looked like I've had anything to do > with them. > > I find it hard to believe they sent copies to all of the hundred > or more games authors that they listed like that - but I can't think > of any other explanation. > > If you got a copy too - then that must be it - if you didn't then > I'm still *really* puzzled! > > They obviously went to some trouble to do the screen shots - neither > the TuxAQFH or TuxRacer photo's were 'standard' ones on the respective > web sites.

I don't have the magazine in front of me, but when I saw the screenshot I thought it looked very much like one from the website... I too am quite surprised that they bothered to send me a copy, though I appreciate the fact that they did. The piece in the other Japanese Linux magazine was longer -- about half a page -- and this time I know for sure that they took new screenshots of the game (and printed them in colour, so the article *looked* nice, though of course I can't read it :). > Now I just wonder what they said about our respective works! I'd be vey curious to know. Nobody in my lab can read much Japanese, unfortunately.
