Hi!
I post my problem here because in Linux Games nobody answered:
I have a 3dfx Voodoo Banshee and Kingpin. But i can run kingpin only in windowed mode with
./kingpin +set vid_ref glx +set gl_driver libMesaGL.so
If I try
+set gl_driver /usr/lib/libMesaGL.so.3 I only get a black screen. I use Quake3 with /usr/lib/libMesaGL.so.3 and it works fine.

TIA

Hrm.. I usually try and answer these questions, and I checked games last nite...oh well.

It won't work the way you are trying with teh newer mesa because Kingpin is based on the Q2 engine, and that only works with the mesa 2.6 that id ships with the binary. Also, it will only run at 640x480.

You can recompile mesa 2.6 to allow higher resolutions, etc. but it has to be mesa 2.6. I have some resources at the bottom of my (now nearly out of date) V3/Linux info page at www.afn.org/~afn57538/v3linux/ (http://www.afn.org/~afn57538/v3linux/) that have/had the source for mesa 2.6 and the changes needed to make it work with Q2 and the extra resolution info as well. Like I said tho, the page is now old, so I'm not sure what links work/don't.
