Quake 4 - X..GL_ARB_texture_compression not found

[Euphoria]

Please help me out on this one:

I am running OpenSuse 10.3 with Compiz & Emerald.
I have the Evga 7800 GT Co. I installed Quake 4 and every time I try to run it I get this:

Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

Thanks!

It would be helpful if you included your nVidia bug report log file.

Here is the log

[mooninite]

Hrmph. I forgot it doesn't include glxinfo output, just an ldd log.

What happens when you do the following command?

$ glxinfo | grep compression
    GL_ARB_texture_border_clamp, GL_ARB_texture_compression, 
    GL_EXT_stencil_wrap, GL_EXT_texture3D, GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc, 
    GL_NV_texture_compression_vtc, GL_NV_texture_env_combine4,

Hmmm, I dont get anything. All I have is this:

It looks like the nvidia driver is not correctly installed.

[Euphoria]

I tried reinstalling the driver.. I also have compiz & emerald running with 3d acceleration enabled...

What would you suggest I do?

[pffft!]

The extension you're looking for is only available in a direct rendering context. Get rid of compiz or configure it correctly, I'd say.

[AaronP]

Make sure you're not running Xgl.

[Euphoria]

Thanks! I'll try this when I get back home... I am at a remote office now...

Hi guys, just in case someone is having a similar problem, I wanted to post my fix for it.

I edited the xorg.conf file:
> vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and deleted the line Load "glx" or you can comment it out by placing # in front of the line:

Section "Module"
.......
# Load "glx"
...
EndSection

than saved the file and pressed CTRL + ALT + F1
Logged in as root, and typed:
> init 3

to shutdown xserver. Then I ran the following commands:

> gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl (Just to make sure xgl is disabled)
> nvidia-xconfig --composite
> nvidia-xconfig --render-accel
> nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals

Now edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add, to the ServerLayout section, the following line:

Option "aiglx" "true"

Also make sure the following line is at the Extensions section:

Option "Composite" "Enable"

Now save the file. This will enable AIGLX.

Thanks for the help guys!
