Darkplaces / Debian help

[CythoN]

Hi all,

Hopefully someone is able to help me with this issue I'm having. This setup used to work perfectly fine. I have not changed driver files or game files between the time the game worked and now since it doesn't.

I'm running Debian Linux Squeeze 607, darkplaces 20130304

This the output from the terminal:

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks

*edit*

This appears to be a glx problem, not quake related.


Console output, gives the same errors.

Hi Damage_inc,

Thanks for the speedy reply!

I get the same result, console output:

It has something to do with open GL. When inside the nvidia control panel application, the window closes unexpectedly when I select "OpenGL/GLX information"
Running it from the console it gives the same " 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)" error again:

[email protected]:/home/glen/Quake/darkplacesengine20130304# nvidia-settings --sync
The program 'nvidia-settings' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 566 error_code 3 request_code 137 minor_code 4)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Hello CythoN. I removed my simple suggestion as, I knew it was too simple to actually work

I'll search around and see if I can find anything that is useful Good luck,

Thanks, I will post here if I find anything else useful.

Have you tried some of the things suggested here: Debian User Forums • View topic - Compiz stopped working

[CythoN]

Right, managed to fix it but with a bit of luck

Firstly, I installed these 3 packages from within synaptic:

libgl1-nvidia-glx - simplifies replacing MESA libGL with GPU vendor libraries
libgl1-nvidia-alertnatives - nvidia binary openGL libraries
nvidia-kernel-2.6.32-5.amd64 - binary kernel module

Rebooted, and that broke X.
Rebooted again into recovery mode, uninstalled nvidia-kernel-common

apt-get purge nvidia-kernel-common

rebooted again, X now worked. Then I thought I'd reinstall the nvidia driver. During that process I encountered many warnings and errors although it completed. I rebooted, and that broke X again. Went into recovery mode, then ran the driver installation again, this time I opted not to create a kernel module, then it completed successfully, and solved the problem entirely!
It looked like the glx component of the driver had either become corrupt or was damaged in some way.

These are the currently installed components, which work:
As you can see there are tons of openGL and other Nvidia stuff which is not needed.

Thanks for that link, reading that now. Will book mark it too. +repped

[damage_inc]

COOL. As that fixes your whole system and not just Quake. Glad to hear it.

I would like to know what your fps is with that config.
Open a terminal and run glxgears,let me know what you see.

[bluntz]

Also what GPU , do a,..
$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
I never had any good results from the nouveau driver myself as it incomplete.
If you do it the Debian way all you needed to do was,..
$ aptitude install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig
and reboot.
In my experience though only the proprietary driver will give you the full use of the GPU.
If you get any artifacts or video bugs you may well have to install the Nvidia way.
Meaning you must remove and purge all the Nvidia stuff you have installed and use their package to build a kernel and module,reconfigure the X server and write a new config.It's not that hard but you must stop the X server and run the package
from the shell.

[CythoN]

Sorry about the delay,

glx gears gives me 60fps.

lspci -nn | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GT] [10de:0426] (rev a1)

[Mindf!3ldzX]

was Vsync is enabled? 60fps suggests it to me.
