driconf in 11.4

English Games
#1

Hi,

I was trying to get Quake 4 running in 11.4 64bit.
***Doom 3 runs fine ***using radeon openSource driver 1.3.0_20100512_80ba041-2.1 (old proprietary drivers for X1950XTX card are not compatible to kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5.1)

I get the following error:

X…GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc not found
Fatal Error: Texture compression unavailable
Shutting down SDL subsystem

I found this link where it says to install driconf and turn on S3TC textures
Running Quake 3 and 4 on Fedora 12 (64-bit) LG #172

I installed driconf 0.9.1-3.1 and get the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/driconf”, line 26, in <module>
import driconf
ImportError: No module named driconf

Any recommendations?

Just add repository home:jobermayr, install drm-radeon-kmp-{flavor} and Mesa-libtxc_dxtn1 packages and update other packages from this repository.
It should work then …

Hi, thanks for your reply :slight_smile:

I added your repository, installed drm-radeon-kmp-desktop, Mesa-libtxc_dxtn1 and updated xorg-X11-driver-video from 7.6-52.4 to 7.6-53.58.1, yet I still get the same error. But I think your repository fixed another issue I was having were the screen would go black for a second and then reappear, so thanks very much :slight_smile:

I’ll give this a try now:
