DOOM3 and Fedora

[Ernest L. Williams Jr.]

Hi,

Does anyone have doom3 working under Fedora3?
Mine fails to start.  Any pointers?

Here is what I get:

I have been able to run the Demo for quite some time.  Is this the full
version?  If it is, I will give it a shot after Christmas(wife says its
under the tree!).

I am no gamer. From what I did read Doom 3 needs the X server running
with 24bit color depth. Seems you have it running with 16bit? "xwininfo"
and clicking on the desktop background tells you for sure.

1. It seems that, the configuration files where not loaded at the
beginning, try setting up permission to file.

2. The game require an OpenGL compliant video card, and tries to load
it according to the game requirements, and doing so, fails to load
GL_ARB, GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_ARB, GL_EXT.. It seems that none of those
extensions are compatible with your video card. Are you sure your
using an OpenGL compliant card, have you tried running tux racer or
gltron, do those games run smoothly?

Looks like there's no accelerated 3d available on your system (or it's
not configured correctly). Also, to play Doom 3 on Fedora you need an
nvidia card with the nvidia binary drivers, at least until ATI or the
DRI people make some progress with their drivers. Any other hardware is
certainly not powerful enough to run the game.

The open source DRI Radeon drivers will play Doom3. Not with every fancy
effect running but they will play it

afaik the opensource drivers only support older hardware. the latest ati 
cards dont work with it and require closed source binary ati drivers.

The latest ATI cards don't work 3D with Linux just 2D. The binary ati drivers
don't run anything much and dont work on any modern kernel. The DRI folks have
the beginnings of R300 code now thankfully.
