[gentoo-user] bzflag

[James]

Hello,

I have bzflag working on several systems(yea, it's the new rage
around the office and with the kids in the hood).

But, for some reason it just dies on a amd64 with an ATI-1900 XT
card. I just got the ati-drivers happy on this system. When I fire
up bzflag, it takes control of the screen for a fraction of a second.

I've looked in /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
but nothing there. How do I debug this?

Both version 2.0.4 and 2.0.8 exhibit the same symptoms.  


ideas?


James

Have you made sure you enabled/disabled the proper modules in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and followed the howto?

yes,

glxinfo | grep redering  <says>
direct rendering: Yes

glxgears runs OK

on default size about 830 FPS

on full screen size about 250 FPS

I'm using the ati-drivers binaries as the radeon driver allowd bzflag to work
but it as so slow it crashed.

The card is based on the newest R580 chip....

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 
R580 [Radeon X1900 XT] Primary

It seems to be working, but, bzflag is not happy.....
