Description Tony Murray 2005-01-21 00:56:28 UTC

I have an athlon64 and radeon system and with the new ati drivers, I am able to run quake3 with no problems.

The ati-drivers still need some "multilib" work, but there is no reason to require nvidia drivers for everyone...

Reproducible: Always

Just a note, quake3 tries to load the 64bit dri driver by default, so you have to tell it where to look for the 32bit one.

I do this by adding

export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/modules/dri

to the launcher in /usr/games/bin. Sorry about posting a semi-different issue in this bug.

I have no intentions on fixing this as the amd64 team has made it quite apparent that they don't care about the status of the stable tree or breakage.
