Segmentation fault

by Matthew Hapke · in Torque Game Engine · 03/15/2005 (10:21 am) · 11 replies

I had put away Torque for awhile,a nd am recently coming back to it. I grabbed the installer, fixed my dependancies for nasm, adn so on, compiled and all looked good. Then when I got to run the _DEBUG version, I'm able to choose Start, select the mission, everything looks like it loads, then I get this:

X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 129 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 24158
Current serial number in output stream: 24158
X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 129 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 24160

Segmentation fault

And its gone.

I know my vidio and sound drivers are working normally(I'm currently playing WoW on this box), but I've got no idea where to start lookign for this issue.

I'm running Suse Pro 9.2
on an AMD Barton
with an NVidia 5900

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What version of TGE are you using?
What does console.log report out?

I'm curious as to which version of the nvidia drivers you are using?

I'm using the TGE 1.3 installer

And I'm not sure where to find console.log? There isn't one in my example folder that I can see..

As to the nvidia drivers, They are the ones that Suse packages in their yast updater.. I believe its 1.06x.. I'll try upping the version to the 1.7X driver and see if that changes things.

The console.log is probably in or around:
~/.garagegames/torquedemo/

If the nvidia drivers are 62xx then you might want to switch to 6111 or try out 7xxx. 62xx is buggy, 6111 is stable, not sure about 7xxx.

Switching drivers did fix me right up. Case closed! Thanks for your help.

The latest version of the nvidia drivers [7167] work fine for me. I'm using a pair of GFIIs.

You might want to consider upgrading at some point. Riva TNT II is nearly at nVidia's unsupported threshold (or possibly even past it).

Hmmm...

That's my card for experiments :/
works a bit slow in windows but just works (in windows I need to install an old driver - 44.xx)
in Linux the recent drive installs without problems but I can't run torque :/
some body knows where can I find an older nvidia driver for linux? maybe 6111 ;)

Good luck - be aware you're going down an increasingly unsupported path. :)

I'm having the same problem and I'm using the 7676 drivers.
