Tuxracer and ugly graphics

[MacDaddy]

Hi all,

Just went through a hell of a time trying to get Tuxracer to work. I was getting drm working, etc. I fonally got it working with good frame rates, only now I have another problem: the graphics are ugly. It seems that there are no skins on the 3D objects (trees, snow, trees, etc). Only the penguin has the skins. I installed the data files for Tuxracer where they should be (/usr/local/share/tuxracer/). I have /etc/X11/XF86Config configured properly.

Before I got direct rendering working and low FPS, I did see textures. Wierd.

Please let me know what I may be doing wrong. Thanks.

did u install the nvidia drivers for your card?

[MacDaddy]

No need for Nvidia drivers. I don't have an nvidia card.

Ok guys. I found something that is probabaly the problem:

When I execute Tuxracer in a terminal, I get hundreds of these:

Failed to upload texture, sz 11008
Memory heap (nil):
heap == 0
End of memory blocks
Failed to upload texture, sz 174592
Memory heap (nil):
heap == 0
End of memory blocks

Memory heap (nil):
heap == 0
End of memory blocks
Failed to upload texture, sz 174592
Memory heap (nil):

End of memory blocks

Could it be something wrong with my video memory? I have 8mb on memory in my /etc/X11/XF86Config for my card. I'll mess with that and let you all know what's going on. In the meantime, help would be appreciated. :)

Bump.
