What videocard chipset do you have? nVidia, ATI, or other? Also, how much ram do you have? Did you install the drivers for your videocard?

Always provide system specifications in any post such as this or posters will be of little help.

system specs now in op. So, i did some deep searching, and i have found that the problem is caused by the fact that i installed xgl and that disables direct rendering. i have disabled xgl, and reinstalled my drivers (nvidia). However, when i do glxinfo | grep rendering it still tells me that direct rendering is not operating. How can i enable direct rendering?

thanks

One thing that may help is to search the forum for nonXgl. I havent gotten doom3 to run yet with nonXgl but some other opengl gmaes have worked.

ok, i got it fixed. This error does indeed have to do with the direct rendering not being enabled. For reasons byond me, i had to reinstall my nvidia drivers twice before the install took. dont know. thanks for all the help
