I tried running Quake 4 on my laptop with the following specs:

Intel Core2 2.0Ghz
2 GB RAM
128 MB nVIDIA 7200 GeFORCE
Ubuntu 6.10

As I tried running the quake4 command I got the following:

I installed quake4 installer and I moved the files they required.

I did install the nVIDIA driver through Automatix2.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

What does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file look like? Try changing the DefaultDepth under "Screen" to 24 if it's still at 16 then restart your computer. I think that's how I fixed this problem.

That did solve the problem!

But the bad news is as soon as I started the game I tried to adjust my screen to 1280x1024 and then restarted quake and I got this.

I tried reinstalling quake but that did not work, by deleting the file but that did not work.

Is there any other way in which I can restore the default settings? any .config file I can play with?

Thanks.

OK I fixed that.

However now when I restart quake 4 the previous settings are not implemented?

They just go back o the default.

Any ideas?

How do you launch it? I use sudo quake4 because otherwise it won't run... maybe your permissions are screwy, not letting quake write new settings for itself? I dunno, just throwing out ideas...
Artificial Intelligence

It's properly because you ran Quake afterwards from the installer window. This will give you permission problems and can be one of the reasons that it goes back to default/can't save.

Okay, I fixed the problem by running the command

sudo quake4 +set s_driver oss

Thanks testbenchdude:-D

And telling it to run the command from terminal. However it's a bit frustrating to have to enter the root password whenever I want to play.](*,)

Is there a way of not using the sudo command, and still be able to save and change settings in the game.

Thanks in advance.

sudo chown -R [User]:[user] /home/[user]/[Quake3-folder]

The quake3 folder is hidden in your home folder .quake3 perhaps?

This is an update:

Patch v1.3 for Quake 4 on Linux fixes most of these problems:rolleyes:
