Description Jacob Martin 2004-07-28 19:02:14 UTC
With the newest nvidia driver nwn will lock up when trying to play "H4 - The Throne of Bloodstone" (get it from http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/modules/data/1047674088411.shtml)

Other games work fine!

In /var/log/messages we have:

Here is the right file.

Running it as root seems to work.  This is probably a permissions thing then.
Comment 5 Jacob Martin 2004-07-28 21:38:14 UTC
Here's some more output when playing by root, this just happened in the middle of a game that was working for more than 30 minutes (remember that it works with root access, which I'm stupid enough to try)

This is probably a different couple of  bugs?

Having similar problems trying to run opengl applications through WINE.
Workaround: chmod a+w /dev/nvidiactl ; chmod a+w /dev/nvidia0 or simply chmod 777 /dev/nvidia*
Comment 7 Nick Demchenko 2004-08-08 13:10:41 UTC
I've been in a haste claiming it was the same. What I get is nearly the same but the workaround might still work.

everyone neglected to post `emerge info` ... no idea what kind of systems you guys are trying this on ...
