So now I have a new issue. I successfully installed the nvidia driver. It ran me through the installation wizard type deal and even asked if I wanted to install 32bit open gl libs and I did that. However now when my computer starts it kicks me into 640X480 resolution and pops up with this error.

none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes: Trying modes for CRTC 63 CRTC 63: trying mode 640x480@60Hz with output at 1366x768@60Hz (pass 0) CRTC 63: trying mode 640x480@60Hz with output at 1366x768@60Hz (pass 1) Trying modes for CRTC 64 CRTC 64: trying mode 640x480@60Hz with output at 1366x768@60Hz (pass 0) CRTC 64: trying mode 640x480@60Hz with output at 1366x768@60Hz (pass 1)

Under system -> displays it only gives me the option to select 640x480, it used to give options for 5 different resolutions.

 

Also ET still doesn't work, I have the same opengl error.

I tried unblacklisting the nouveau drivers and it still didn't change anything.

Um, try editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf directly, the lines for 640x480 and adjust to 800x600 first if it will allow you after a re boot. If so, then adjust to desired settings.

I don't see anything in the xorg that has resolution. At least not 640x480 mentioned.

et still doesn't work?

 

have you checked glxinfo again?

can you run the demos glxgears and fgl_glxgears?

 

did you run nvidia-settings?

$ gksudo nvidia-settings

 

check this:

https://help.ubuntu....ty/NvidiaManual

section 'Load driver on boot', check if you have nvidia in your /etc/modules

 

- this command gives many infos, please post your results here

$ sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia

$gksudo nvidia-settings

Opens up nvidia settings but gives me a popup: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

Followed directions and it replaces my xorg.conf, reboot and no change.

nvidia wasn't listed in the modules, I added it in and after a reboot still no change. glxinfo is the same. and fgl_glxgears is an unknown command.

 

Here's what et says now. Browser is extremely annoying to navigate in 640x480 so I can't tell if it is the same as last time.

I have this lines from my laptop

 

product: GF106 [GeForce GT 555M]

vendor: NVIDIA Corporation

physical id: 0

bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0

version: a1

width: 64 bits

clock: 33MHz

capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom

configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0

 

We have exactly the same details except for the red ones and my Ubuntu version is lower, 11.XX version.

And I dont have /etc/X11/xorg.conf to share :(

 

Will try to upgrade may laptop's Ubuntu to 12.X and get back on what would happen to my end, crossed fingers.

It seems I've missed the fact that u have a laptop ...

 

imho you should check this:

http://bumblebee-project.org/

 

there is a similar thing called ironhide, but I don't know which one is best or easier to use.

I see you have a package called bumblebee already installed, but maybe you have to start the whole installation from scratch, in that website there is a wiki

<p>What's the difference for a laptop? Yeah I did a quick install of bumblebee, but that was only a half assed effort, I didn'%3

Not sure what happened with that post. <p>I did get the resolution fixed by uninstalling nvidia and using bumblebee. Also

 

Not sure what happened with that post.

I did get the resolution fixed by uninstalling nvidia and using bumblebee. Also et works!

Only problem with et is I have no sound, which I expected. However the fixes I've found don't work. The tutorial by pinoy seems to have worked for most people, but either I did it wrong or it doesn't work anymore. esound didn't work, also no good on this script

gksudo echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
gksudo echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
killall esd
et
esd
exit 0

Any other workarounds?

 

And also thank you guys soooo much for helping. Absolutely no way I could have got this far without you.

as regards the fact of having a laptop or a desktop, I think this nvidia 'optimus' thing is only for laptops, hence the need for bumblebee

 

as regards the sound, check Parrot's tutorial about et and linux mint:

http://fearless-assa...ntumint-distro/

 

before trying that et-sdl-sound, I would try to set (in et)

/seta s_khz "44"

on an old version of Ubuntu I used to have, that was sufficient to have sound in ET

 

i use et-sdl-sound on Fedora too, so feel free to ask for help on that too, but the tutorial is clear enough :P

Since video is working now, you might want to check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and have a backup if that file still exists, just incase you wanna play more of X config :)

 

Am sure the sound would work out just right on what Sunlight's link had given here. If not, feel free to post, my laptop was upgraded to latest Ubuntu with no vga or sound issues, works fine.

Is what I have for the important part of the script. It opens et just fine, but still no sound. Do I need something in the libsdl line?

 

Also I have no xorg.conf now. There is a couple backups in there but nothing that should be active.

this is the script I use to run et with sound:

#!/bin/bash
export ETSDL_SDL_LIB="/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0"
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER="pulse"

cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/
LD_PRELOAD="${LD_PRELOAD}:/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/sdlsound/et-sdl-sound/et-sdl-sound.so" ./et.x86 $*

SDL_AUDIODRIVER can be "pulse" or "alsa"

ETSDL_SDL_LIB must have the correct path to your sdl lib

/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/sdlsound/et-sdl-sound/et-sdl-sound.so must be replaced with the path to tour sdlsound library

in my case I made a subfolder in /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/ where I extracted sdlsound

 

for example if you call the script etsound.sh, then

$ chmod +x etsound.sh

to make it executable

$ ./etsound.sh

 

to run et (you can pass other parameters too, for example ./etsound.sh +set fs_game jaymod +connect blablabla etc.)

 

I don't use the original sdlsound script.

Alright got it fixed by using an unedited version, strange enough. Thank you guys so much for helping me get this working! Hopefully I'll see ya in game soon.
