super slow
« on: September 19, 2006, 05:27:59 am »
I just got PS running on my Linux machine, and it REALLY SLOW. Before i log in. Mouse barely moves. Everything works on delay. I muted all sound

Running Mandriva 2006
Intel 3 ghz hyperthreading
512 RAM
NVidia 5200 256 (this may be the problem, i couldn't figure out how to install driver)
100mb/s+ internet connection

mmm, I'm going to be jumping over to Linux at some point soon. I have the XFX 5200 256mb gfx card, I would agree that it without the driver would be why you're suffering slow performance. I storngly advise trying to get that driver in before trying again ;)

That would be the first place I looked.  When I first installed PlaneShift I was using the mesa driver.  It would crash everytime I would try and load the game.  After installing the ATI proprietary driver everything worked much better.  Nvidia has a pretty easy to navigate site and they will get you to your driver binary.  They even include a script for updating your config file so you don't have to do it.  They include packages for IA32, IA64, and AMD64/EM64T.

I'm experiencing this same thing even tho I have installed drivers. I think it's because my updater doesn't work (missing libs) so I haven't updated.

edit. Xordan fix the updater to work under glibc 2.3.2  :'(

Heya!
Open a shell and type:
glxinfo | grep rendering
If the output is something like "direct rendering: Yes" your 3d driver is working fine.
If the output is something like "direct rendering: No" your 3d insn't installed and/or not correctly configured.

Greetings.

For me the output was: direct rendering: Yes.

So it must be because of the updater not working?
