Americas Army problem

[mojo jojo]

When I try to start Americas Army 2.0a I keep getting this.

Xlib:  extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
GL_EXT_bgra not supported - bailing out.

here is my XF86Config file

Are you using the latest Nvidia driver? I read the latest driver did not work with NWN, so it might be the same problem...

[mojo jojo]

nope 4496 mabey it could be that fedora just does not work with some game like AA&ET

Hello,

I just installed Armerica's Army last night and it was by far the easiest game that I have installed on Linux to date.

I too am using a NVidia chipset. The drivers that come with Linux don't contain 3D acceleration, so you have to visit www.nvidia.com and download the 3D drivers for Linux.

You'll have to change permissions on the downloaded file, and run the installer with the X Server turned off.

Using Mandrake, the easiest way to do this (through the gui) is to go into Mandrake Control Center -> Display -> X Server and select 'no' where it says something like 'start X at boot?'.

Reboot and run the installer.

In your XF86Config-4 file it has a device section that looks similar to:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic)"
EndSection

You must change the Driver from "nvidia" to "nv".

Logout from root and type startx at the command prompt.

If your 3D drivers are working you should see a NVidia splash screen whenever X starts.

You must change the Driver from "nvidia" to "nv".

Actually, the official nvidia drivers are in fact nvidia, so you must change nv to nvidia.

I'm gonna try this game again.
