The nvidia logo popped up and it went into kde.
I immediately tried armagetron (gl accel tron game) and boom it worked at almost 300 fps. Then I tried another called chromium, and it failed to start. Tried it in a console and it said that libglpng was missing. I thought it strange so I tried yet another game clanbomber. Again it came up with errors. It to seemed to be missing a lib file.
Well after trying 10 more games(including 2d, 3d, and kde games) and 7 other progs. I only got 2 games to work and 5 programs. Everything seemed to complain about missing files. Specifically lib and sdl files.
When I had tried to incorperate the drivers before into my custom remaster I used the directions on this set of posts (second page from thread)
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...ghlight=nvidia
using this method didn't work either (no gl progs would run at all) but it let other progs run without creating missing files.

So where to go from this point I have no clue, but I do believe that some sort of true integration is needed for a remaster. Maybe something that can be done in a chrooted environment so we can mkisofs it into the big knoppix file.

Anyway thanks for trying.
Hi,

thank you for your report.

And chromium and co does work if started on your ATI machines ?

Its strange could you please do:

ldd $(which chromium) in a console and give me the output ?

And for the start I would need exact error messages if possible

cu

Fabian

PS: Your remaster sounds kind of interesting ... Do you plan to upload it ? I think I could provide space ...
