2 Problems Quake3 and Bind9
Bind9 first. I am getting these messages in my logs:
Dec 19 11:26:36 pub1 named[6093]: lame server resolving
'mail.jensys.com.tw' (in 'mail.jensys.com.tw'?): 211.22.100.149#53
So clearly its resolving the name to 211.22.100.149, but it wont respond
with that to the client, as the end DNS server is not responding
authoritatively. However I tried the same lookup with an older Bind8
server and it responded.
Bind9 Response:
root@pub1 /var/spool> host mail.jensys.com.tw
Host mail.jensys.com.tw not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
Bind8 Response:
root@guru /var/swww/q3admin> host mail.jensys.com.tw
mail.jensys.com.tw A 211.22.100.149
How do I tell Bind9 to respond with the IP address even if the DNS
server is 'lame'?
Now, the more important question!
Quake3. I recently upgraded my Debian unstable workstation and now all
of a sudden my Quake3 for linux wont respond to my mouse movements. The
mouse buttons register fine inside the game, but I can not move or turn
with the mouse. I just got a logitech MX300 and I want to Quake from my
favorite OS! dang it!
X 4.2.1
KDE 3.0.5
nvidia 4191 (or something)
Is there a device quake3 uses that maybe devfs screwed up? (blindly
groping for some clues)
Also after the same upgrade mplayer now crashes during playback, and
konsole crashes during load. But the strange thing about that is that
KDE starts a konsole session when it starts up, as I eneded a session
with one open. But I cannot launch another.
I know that I am running Debian unstable and should expect things like
this, but this is weird!
