Did you end up recompiling the mesa stuff or just reinstalling the package?

Ahh. he already said exactly what he did to fix it, all steps included.

"Then I played a bit with symbolic links and tried to put links to /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL* and libglut* in /usr/lib.

I was sure that this was only a paranoic attempt, but I also reinstalled Mesa and Mesa-libs (GL,GLU,glut) and...LOL...IT WORKED!! 8)"

That's it? Not that hard to follow.

Still no acceleration here (Radeon 9600 Pro, kernel 2.6.1, fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.7.0, XFree-4.3.0-2.90.43).

Maybe more information about the "Then I played a bit with symbolic links and tried to put links to /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL* and libglut* in /usr/lib." bit would help, as i seem to have all these links pointing to their correct targets. I did reinstall all rpms, but nothing changed.

And the funny thing is: Every OpenGL app _except_ vendetta is accelerated (I tested glxgears, quake3 demo & tuxracer), so i suppose there is something special about this - otherwise excellent - program.

If i can help in any way solving this mystery let me know ...

I've been having this problem, too.

ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128 MB DDR
AMD Athlon XP 2100+
1.5 GB RAM
Fedora Core 1 Linux

Am I correct in thinking that this sounds like it's more of an issue with ATI's binary driver installation than with Vendetta?

It's ATi's problem. This is why gentoo has the "opengl-update" utility. On gentoo, a simple "opengl-update ati" would have fixed this. :P


PS: You stole my 1000th post dammit!

I use the open dri drivers (radeon/r200) with my r250 and have had no problems.

Ja, xfree-drm should work fine.

Im using fglrx (official ati drivers), and am experiancing extreme slowness!

I would use DRI, however, ut2004 experiances many glitches/graphical bugs then. fglrx gives me better fps in 3d applications as well.

Please look into this issue developers! I will be more than happy to help yuy guys out if you need me to run any special programs, send logs, etc.

Heh what we need is a machine here that exhibits the problem so we can figure out why.

Problem solved!

Execute:

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1

Before starting the game...thats it! :D

Get a machine that uses a ati card with the fglrx drivers. That should be enough?
