Return To Castle Wolfenstein v 1.41 Linux

[netfindr]

Has anyone got this to work in Knoppix 3.9. My system specs are

AMD Athlon 2500+
1GB PC2700 Mem
Nvidia GeForce 5600 Vid Card with 128mb onboard memory
Sound Blaster Audigy (Original)

I have never been able to compile the nvidia accelerated vid drivers with knoppix. I believe the error occured in the kernel module compilation. I will add there errors in another post below this one.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem

[regnu_me1010]

I have a problem wsith getting my nvidia card working & i have mostly the same specs as u
AMD Athlon 2600+

1GB PC3200 Mem
Nvidia GeForce 5700 Vid Card with 256mb onboard memory
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS platinum pro

I dont think that thesound card has anything to do with it LOL

your problem seems to be that, like windows, knoppix systems may not like nvidia, because nvidia failed to pay mr knopper billions of dollars to support its hardware. LOL

The problem is that you kernel source is not directly specified when you use de nvidia.run
you might try NVidia-Linux-x86-X.X-XXXX-pkg.run --kernel-name=2.6.11 or --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux

kernel name : (not specified)
kernel include path : (not specified)
kernel source path : (not specified)
kernel output path : (not specified)
kernel install path : (not specified)
....
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.
Example -> Kernel source path: '/lib/modules/2.6.11/source'

I really don't remember know if it'll work because the source which came with knoppix always give me trouble (that's why I recompile my kernel from a full source) remember knoppix is a live-cd .

You can try if the kano scripts (section Install scripts for graphic cards after HD install) work for you, try someone like the 'install-nvidia-6629-debian.sh'

It worked for me when I have the same problem like you.

p.d: now that i finally read the topic...WTF??? What all of this has to do with castle of wolfenstein...sorry moderators my bad I didn't realize...
