hi!
Just managed to get doom 3 up and running using the native linux installer (no cedega / wineX). However, I do geta strange problem....
My screen is set to a resolution of 1400x1050. I prefer to run doom 3 less than this as my gfx card cant keep up, but this is where it gets strange....
Whatever resolution I run doom 3 at, the screen res is still 1400x1050, its just that doom only takes up as many pixels of the screen that it is set to! E.g. 640x480 results in a small window in the bottom left corner running doom, 1024x768 results in a larger window. The rest of the viewable space is ¨garbled¨ (like the noise on a poorly tuned tv). The game is set to run fullscreen....
I did a fglrxinfo and had this:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY FIREGL T2 Pentium 4 (SSE2) (FireGL) (GNU_ICD)
OpenGL version string: 1.3.4769 (X4.3.0-8.8.25)
Im using the ati drivers I had after doing ¨sudo apt-get install fglrx-drivers (or whatever the correct filename was)¨
I guess I could try cedega but that isnt even working for me when I try to run an old game like diablo 1!!!!
Any ideas folks? All help greatly appreciated!
**update**
Forgot to mention, im running on an ibm t41p laptop, ati firegl 2 mobility (128mbram) and running 5.04 kubuntu.
