[gentoo-amd64] AMD64 - America's Army?

[gentoo-amd64] AMD64 - America's Army?

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   My son wanted to play America's Army under Linux so I downloaded
and installed a copy. When I started it it complained about a missing
DRI interface, among other things:

mark@lightning ~ $ ./armyops
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Cheat protection disabled
WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
Xlib:  extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".

Either GL_EXT_bgra or glDrawRangeElements not supported- bailing out.

History:

Exiting due to error
mark@lightning ~ $

   So, do you think it's bailing due to the DRI missing or is it a GL
issue? I don't understand GL at all so I probably need to get some
education.

   Am I corrct in remembering that DRI was not even supported on AMD64
back when I built this machine? (Possibly about a year ago?) If so is
this still the case? lsmod seems to say that drm is loaded:

mark@lightning ~ $ /sbin/lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
<SNIP>
radeon                110496  0
drm                    78576  1 radeon
mark@lightning ~ $


   The VGA is ATI-based:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60
[Radeon X300 (PCIE)]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE]

hi,

try launching with lib32 modules like this:
cd "/opt/americas-army" export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri 
exec ./armyops "$@"

or make desktop entry

What driver do you have in your xorg.conf ?
Change radeon to fglrx to use ATi's driver.
