Quake2 Mouse Troubles

[[cx]]

My mouse is quake2 is erratic, I have a strong belief that indeed it does hate me. And my video won't go above 320x240 in software. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif

The mouse problem I think is linked to /etc/vga/libvga.config but I can't seem to figure out what is causing it.

It's a ps/2 intellimouse(rev 1.1a)

My video card is a riva tnt, with the 0-95 drivers installed. I'm not sure if they work, but I assume NVdriver installed means it's working.

opengl doesn't work tho, growl.

Any help would be very appreciated, thank you.

By erratic do you mean that when you move the mouse it starts firing? that happened to me using a Logitech Wheel Mouse (that coincidentally uses the IMPS/2 protocol). Devrdander figured it out but I forgot wha the solution was.

Yeah, when I move it it shoots straight at the sky and it's impossible to control, I don't even really care about opengl right now, I can still play action quake 2 with 320x240, albeit not well.. But who cares http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

I am getting frustrated with the problem at hand, perhaps someone can point me into a document that explains (CLEARLY) how to alter the /etc/libvga.config file, so that I can tweak this to my advantage instead of just firing blind(like i'm doing in quake2 with my KEYBOARD *GLARE*).

But, regardless, any help on how to set up video and mouse controls through /etc/libvga.config would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

libGL.so is linked to mesa -remove that link and creat a symbolic link from your directory that contains your gl driver to you q2 folder
example on rh7 ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so /usr/local/games/quake2/libGL.so
then cd to q2 dir and exec the following
./quake2 +set vid_ref glx +set gl_driver libGL.so +set _windowed_mouse 1
ENJOY

It says:

ln: /usr/local/games/quake2/libGL.so: File Exists

What does that mean? and when I go to run quake2 the way you told me it just says "file not found".

What the hell??

- Frustrated to the point of snapping.

you must remove old links to mesa first and then type ln -s /location of nvidia libGL.so/
/location of q2 folder/

example again on my system libGL.so.1.0.5 being my nvidia driver.
ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.5 /usr/local/games/quake2/libGL.so

also do you now for shure you have a working gl system have you tried quake3 or ut under gl
