This manual page has been inherited from the FuhQuake client
made by A Nourai aka 'fuh' (#fuhquake on Quakenet irc).
This doc explains some misc info about the linux binaries.
C Library version
You must be using libc6 (also known as glibc2) to use the binaries distributed
with the client. Older C libraries (such as libc5) are not sufficient. To see
what C library version you have, type 'ls lib/libc.so.6' and if the file exists
then you have libc6. All recent linux distributions (past 2 years) install libc6
by default. Older linux distributions (eg redhat 5) use the older libc5.
SVGALIB Binary
Prerequisites
Making ezquake.svga work essentially relies on configuring svgalib
properly. Most linux distributions put the svgalib config file in
/etc/vga/libvga.config . It's up to you to read the svgalib
documentation and configure it properly so that your mouse and keyboard
function properly.
svgalib variables
- vid_waitforrefresh
- flips vsync on/off.
- vid_redrawfull
- redraws screen fully each frame (?)
vgalib command line
- -mode x
- sets vid_mode to x (use vid_modelist in console to see what x can be).
- -w x , -h y, -d z
- try to set vid mode to width = x, height = y, depth = z .
- -nokbd
- no keyboard support.
- -mdev dev
- location of mouse device. eg -mdev /dev/mouse
- -mrate rate
- define mouse rate (default 1200).
X11 Software binary
Prerequisites
- Have X configured and working using 8, 16, or 24 depth.
- If you want to bind MWHEELUP and MWHEELDOWN, you need the following line in the
"InputDevice" section of your XF86Config:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
x11 command line
- -verbose
- print more info
- -winsize x y
- set window size to width = x, height = y
- -width x
- specifies window width
- -height y
- specified window height
- -nomouse
- disable mouse
Also if your mouse is behaving weirdly, try toggling _windowed_mouse.
GLX Binary
Prerequisites
- Have GLX installed (get it from nvidia drivers page or use mesasoft software
implementation). Obviously need nvidia card for decent FPS.
- Have X set up and working properly. If you want to run the client in fullscreen
mode then start X at the same resolution you wish to start the client at.
- I have the feeling you will need X version >= 4.0 and you may even need 4.2.
- If you want to bind MWHEELUP and MWHEELDOWN, you need the following line in the
"InputDevice" section of your XF86Config:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
glx command line
- -width x
- specifies window width
- -height y
- specified window height
- -fullscreen
- run in fullscreen mode (this will disable ability to alt-tab etc)
- -nodga
- disable DGA. Use this if you don't want DGA input support or your X version doesn't support DGA. Same as -nomdga -nokdga .
- -nomdga
- disable DGA mouse input. Use this if you are having mouse trouble.
- -nokdga
- disable DGA keyboard input. Use this if you are having keyboard trouble.
- -gamma x
- specify gamma.
- -nohwgamma
- Disable hardware gamma support. Use this if you have problems with gamma.
Also if your mouse is behaving weirdly, try toggling _windowed_mouse.
