Quake 3 OpenGL subsystem error, Wolf:ET runs fine (same engine...)

[adamvjackson 0]

Got Fedora Core 2 installed today, with all of the available updates on up2date, latest kernel, and latest Nvidia drivers.

 

Video card is Geforce4 ti4400 (128MB DDR). Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is installed and running fine, Quake 3, I copied the .pk3 files accordingly, and installed the 1.32 point release as per ID instructions.

 

Upon running either the quake3.sh or quake3.x86 I get an OpenGL subsystem error.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Edit:

Kernel version: 2.6.8-1.521

Nvidia driver version: 1.0-6111

 

Edit 2:

Should have googled some more; found plenty of other users talking about this too.

Off to reboot now, to try it; I'll post back with results.

OK, the fix posted above at http://wwww.nvnews.net works.

 

Here's the fix, thanks to LordMorgul @ nV News Forums:

Examine the file /etc/sysctl.conf

Hi adamvjackson! Sure wish I had a few fingers of good ol' Asheville "shine" right about now!

 

Anyway, thanks for posting the solution!
