historic_bruno Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Seems like a driver problem? What version of Ubuntu are you using, what graphics card, and which driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk123 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have linux mint 9 isadora.Nvidia Ge-Force 7800 GT x 2latest Nvidia linux driver (290.10)I also have installed the nvidia 173 drivers + nvidia_current Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yves Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I agree that this looks like a driver problem.You can get a lot information from nVidia directly about installing drivers correctly and solving driver problems.What they are suggesting...Where should I start when diagnosing display problems?One of the most useful tools for diagnosing problems is the X log file in /var/log. Lines that begin with (II) are information, (WW) are warnings, and (EE) are errors. You should make sure that the correct config file (i.e. the config file you are editing) is being used; look for the line that begins with: (==) Using config file:Also make sure that the NVIDIA driver is being used, rather than the “nv” or “vesa” driver. Search for (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"Lines from the driver should begin with: (II) NVIDIA(0)I think that's a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almin Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) If it's a driver problem, it doesn't influence everyone, because I've also a nVidia gtx 560m with the newest driver(290.10). I'm running Arch Linux and I can start the game without any problem and also glxinfo seems to work and doesn't show anything special.

I'm running Arch Linux and I can start the game without any problem and also glxinfo seems to work and doesn't show anything special.Right, it looks like the driver wasn't installed/configured properly in the case of the above posts.I would try uninstalling the driver(s), then reinstalling, following which method is supposed to be used on Ubuntu.
