hardail60 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hey CRex. Whats up. I have just installed DT on a RHEL(Red Hat Enterprisse Linux) ES ver. 4. I need just one lib. Installed with no problem, all the way up to the main menu screen. I had no time to continue so I shut down system till today. When I lunch ./runClient.sh I receive the following ~/DropTeam/bin ~/DropTeam Then the log: [jbush@localhost bin]$ cat DropTeam.log MAIN: Version = 0.9.94 LOBBY: Init'ing SDL SDL ERROR: Couldn't find matching GLX visual MAIN: Unable to set screen resolution Requested mode was 800x600x32 [jbush@localhost bin]$ My question. Why would it work on the install, but now I cannot get it to run without fixing the GLX issue. Plus, I have the res set at 1280x1024xmil. Thanks.

poesel Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Looks like DT wants a 800x600 resolution. Do you have that configured? Can you change to 800x600 (IIRC its CTR-ALT-+ to change by keyboard)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardail60 Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 I have changed it. and then it complains in the log that it wants 800x600x32. I then change it. It complains for a lower color like 8. My question is, why did it come up to the main menu when I installed and but won't boot now?

poesel Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hmm, I run DT on Ubuntu at home and it worked right out of the box. Maybe RHEL doesn't configure the lower resolutions in its X setup. Usually there is everything you graphic card can handle but maybe RHEL is so enterprisy that it doesn't bother with the lower end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytoniousRex Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 You can try starting it up in a window so that X won't need to switch modes. Then on the Options tab in DropTeam the pull down list of video modes should only show those that your server actually supports, so you can choose one of those and THEN turn on the fullscreen checkbox again. To make it start in windowed mode, edit DropTeamSettings.dat and change IsFullScreen from 1 to 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardail60 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 I vi'd /DropTeam/Settings.dat 1 to a 0 on IsFullScreen :w Cat /DropTeam/Settings.dat Looks good. then: [jbush@localhost DropTeam]$ ./runClient.sh ~/DropTeam/bin ~/DropTeam Nothing. Then I checked log. [jbush@localhost DropTeam]$ cd bin [jbush@localhost bin]$ ls DropTeam.log SpaceVikings [jbush@localhost bin]$ cat DropTeam.log MAIN: Version = 0.9.94 LOBBY: Init'ing SDL SDL ERROR: Couldn't find matching GLX visual MAIN: Unable to set screen resolution Requested mode was 800x600x32 Hardtail.

Toby Haynes Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Okay - time to tinker if you feel like exploring your X configuration. If you don't know how to recover if you mess up your xorg.conf file, don't read any further. Try looking in the /etc/X11 directory. I think RHEL uses Xorg so the file you need to BACKUP FIRST and then edit is xorg.conf As root user: cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup Then load up xorg.conf in your favourite editor. Look for the section which starts with: Section "Screen" Inside this you should have a line which specifies the default colour depth for the X server - this should be either 24 (for NVIDIA cards) or 32 (for ATI cards). From my own NVidia system, the Section "Screen" part looks like this: Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA Default Card" Monitor "IBM C72 Monitor" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection It's that Modes line that specifies the list of modes that are available. So I have four screen resolutions available - 1152x864, 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480 in 24bit colour. If you are missing the 800x600 modes, you should add it in the same form as above. Save it. Then you just need to log out and log back to refresh your X server. Remember, if you mess up your Xorg configuration, you'll be stuck at a text terminal. You can just copy the backup over the xorg.conf file and type init 3; sleep 20 ; init 5 to kick the system down to runlevel 3 (text) and back to runlevel 5 (graphics) 20 seconds later.
