hi all,
could anyone shine some light on why i am having problems with
tuxracer and tuxkart on a Dell Lat. C800 laptop with an 800MHz PIII
and 256Mb of RAM, running sarge with X 4.1.0. the graphics adapter
(Rage Mobility M4) is handled by X's ati/r128 driver after agpgart and
the r128 4.1 DRM module is loaded (it's a custom kernel 2.4.19). KDE
2.2.2 is running as window/session-manager.
1. tuxkart 0.1.0-4
Versions of packages tuxkart depends on:
ii glutg3 3.7-14
ii libc6 2.2.5-11.1
ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-11
ii plib1 1.4.1-1
ii tuxkart-data 0.1.0-4
ii xlibmesa3 4.1.0-17
ii xlibmesa3 [libgl1] 4.1.0-17
ii xlibs 4.1.0-17
When the program starts, the mouse becomes very jumpy (VERY jumpy
- it takes me about 15 seconds to get it over the Quit button, and
another 15 for the system to register the click). XFree86 goes up to
98-99% CPU usage, system load just climbs. everything return to
normal when tuxkart is killed.
2. tuxracer
Versions of packages tuxracer depends on:
ii libc6 2.2.5-11.1
ii libsdl-mixer1.2 1.2.4-1.1
ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.4-1
ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-11
ii tcl8.3 8.3.3-7
ii tuxracer-data 0.61-1
ii xlibmesa3 [libgl1] 4.1.0-17
ii xlibs 4.1.0-17
When the program is started, the sound plays fine, but the graphics
are messed up. There's a solid white vertical stripe of about 5 cm
in size going through the entire picture at 65% across. it doesn't
matter whether it's windowed or fullscreen.
any tips appreciated. i have converted almost my entire family to
debian, but if the games don't work, they are not happy. and i know
jack about games, graphics, or multimedia.
