ok so my harddisk died and i had no other option but to switch to a live cd until i can buy a new one
so i downloaded and burned your distribution
it's nice and really easy to set up and go but when it comes to installing new things i really cant handle it
the problem is i never used linux before so i my knowledge in it is very limited...

here it goes:
i've downloaded the game Eternal-Lands --> http://www.eternal-lands.com/
it's a free 3d mmorpg and it has support for linux :)

i've read the instructions at the download page:

Quote
To play on Linux:
Download the zip file, and unzip it.
cd to the directory where you installed it.
chmod to 775 and execute el.x86.linux.bin
edit el.ini and change datadir to where you unzip everything
Also, the zip file has no base directory, so you should unzip it in a new directory you create.
To play under FreeBSD, download the Linux version, download the code from the CVS, and use the freebsd make file.


i tried unzip-ing with the unzip utility that comes with the livecd but it failed so i downloaded 7zip and it worked
then i chmod 775 that file and there i'm stuck...
i just dont know how to execute that bin file
sorry for the stupid question beacuse i'm sure that's not really an issue but i really cant figure this out...
any help would be appriciated

Wow, hey, fancy meeting you here (I'm an EL developer, same name there as here).

Let's see - do you have DRI, etc. compiled into your drivers, so that OpenGL is supported? Did you set datadir to the directory where it was installed (that's your problem with the languages, etc.)? (I'm also assuming you're running the static executable, otherwise you'd have shared library problems).

It looks like your main problem is lack of GLX support on your drivers.
Also, could you post the contents of error_log.txt? That should have some more information on the problems that you're encountering, such as possibly explaining the segfault.


--------------
System:
eTower 566.12, 32MB RAM, 7GB HD, 200MB swap, 1x USB v.1, Intel 810GFX, Intel 810 Audio.
Recompiled so far: Pretty much everything. I think I'll have to do a remaster to cut the growing bloat off my system.

Hi crusadingknight i am gonna need some time to recover everything
my power went off for half an hour :\
so when i'm ready i'll try to answer your questions
but yes my main problem is the GLX support i cant seem to set  my XFree86 config ... i'm so damn noob in linux ;[
and just when i think i made a progress there seems to be missing something from my distribution and there it goes again downloading new stuff and again.. some not working

this is from my XF86config file:
Quote

Section "Module"
Load  "dbe"
Load  "dri"
Load  "extmod"
Load  "glx"
Load  "record"
Load  "xtrap"
Load  "speedo"
Load  "type1"
EndSection


i guess glx and dri are properly set to load so maybe the problem is in the drivers

then again in the config

Quote

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Card0"
Driver      "nv"
VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName   "NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]"
BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection


my graphics card is exactly as it's wrriten.. still getting the same error
any tool to check why exactly this GLX fails to load?
i'll try to update my drivers again
