[Mesa3d-users] fxmesa problems

[Stuart R. <str00u@Cs.Nott.AC.UK>]

Hi,

I've found out some more info on my Quake2 problems. When i start Q2 with
gl renderer, i get a message on the console about XF86DGAScreenNotActive
and problems related to DirectVideo.

I have XF86 3.3.3 - do i need to upgrade?

here's the old message:
---
I'm having difficulty getting straight GL working, specifically with
Quake2. My problem is this:

When i run "./quake2 +set vid_ref gl" within X windows, i get a blank
screen, and the message "fxmesa: received a not handled signal 2" on
console 8 (set up by svgalib). Running quake2 with the glx renderer works
fine, however.

I have tried running the gl renderer just in a normal console, but every
time Mesa reports that it needs an "X connection" or something. This makes
no sense, since the gl renderer is designed to work without X.

Thanks for any help people are able to give.
Stuart
