To Devs,

FYIO: First time with a hard freezed machine (Linux)

At the morning of 22.Dec. 2004 (Europe), I jumped out from one sector to another. My Mission was bot killing. After pressing <Return> for jump, my complete x86-system freezes immediately the hard way. The Vendetta fullscreen disappeard and showed the usual desktop with no mouse-pointer, no Keyboards flashing. Access from another computer by ssh was also not possible. CTRL-ALT-DEL and switching to a console (ALT-F2) didn't works.

fortunately, the ship was already here after reconnect.

specs:
-gentoo
-nvidia geforce4 mx
-nvida-kernel-1.0.6111-r3
-nvida-glx-1.0.6111

there where no other applications running than vendetta

cheers,
maitje

What X?

hi roguelazer
xorg, version is 6.8.0-r3

So are you using XCOMPOSITE with GLX?

No, I would like to use it, but vendetta won't start anyway with Composite on. So it has to be turned off before proceeding with 'Start Vendetta'.

You need to have the following option in your Xorg.conf to use composite and GL (it goes in the Devices section)

Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"

[moved to Linux for future reference]

xorg.conf:
Option "Composite" "true" #says: not used
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" #says: not used

It's in there, and vendetta works fine. Just this one time freeze was the problem.

It's not Option Composite True. It's a whole new section, that looks like this:

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
    Option "RENDER" "Enable"
EndSection
