Black Plague doesn't start under Debian Etch

**Sharpshooter** · 05-19-2008, 08:10 PM

Hi. I played Overture few month ago ; since I updated my Debian Etch and now Overture and BlackPlague don't start.

When I launch one game or the other it crash and I have this message in the hlp.log :

Code: (Select All)

Init low level graphics

Setting video mode: 800 x 600 - 32 bpp

ERROR: Could not set display mode setting a lower one!

FATAL ERROR: Unable to initialize display!

I have a Geforce 8800 and the 800x600 mode is working fine if I try this mode.

Any idea to help me ?

Oops ! I re-installed the Nvidia driver and now it works. Probably the driver was mis-installed.

So. It works and it's a great game ! Smile

Thanks

Have same problem with all three games on Fedora 11 86_x64

bash-4.0$ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-185.18.14-2.fc11.x86_64

bash-4.0$ uname -a
Linux Fedora_portable 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 16 23:23:21 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What can be done to solve this problem?

You need to make sure you have the 32bit libs installed as well.. Penumbra is a 32bit only application, and requires the 32bit libs installed.. check all of your xorg-x11-drv-nvidia files.

rpm -qa xorg-x11-drv-nvidia\*
make sure you have the 32bit and 64bit -libs package.

Thanks a lot, that solved my problem. Although, I have another one and have created a topic for that: link

Hi BLooDCorpse,

which 32 libs have you installed?

$ rpm -qa | grep i586 > libs32.txt
