Default What the...?

Ok, I've downloaded the RO linux client, and I log on and it says,

Unsupported video card!

There are three possible causes for this error:
1. Your video card is too old
2. You haven't installed the latest available drivers
3. You haven't installed the latest DirectX version

1 - I have a Geforce 6800, old, but not that old, and it's supposed to be supported.

2 - I have the latest nvidia drivers, all kernals re-compiled fine.

3 - Can you really put directX on linux? I didn't think you could.

Any help with this would be great!

1 & 2: Could you fire up a terminal and post the output of
Code:
glxinfo | grep -i direct
and
Code:
 grep "Driver\|Load" /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3: impossible... probably the default message. Remember: the linux launcher is still "unofficial"

Alright, here is what I got:

glxinfo | grep -i direct
direct rendering: No

and:

grep "Driver\|Load" /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Load "dbe"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "v4l"
Driver "kbd"
Driver "mouse"
Driver "nvidia"

First, check if the kernel module is loaded
Code:
lsmod | grep -i nvidia
If not, load it
Code:
sudo modprobe nvidia
Restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace)
And check if you now have direct rendering
Code:
glxinfo | grep -i direct
If the answer is still no, or the kernel module was already loaded, post the output of
Code:
sudo grep "EE\|WW" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

X should load the nvidia module automagically.

you should have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and scan for lines with (EE)

Best to take out the obvious and simple things first.
Xorg.0.log can be hellish to wade through, but that's what my last suggestion was for

Ok, here are the results:

lsmod | grep -i nvidia

nvidia 7033460 34
i2c_core 41472 2 nvidia,i2c_nforce2

and:

grep "EE\|WW" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/local" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/PEX" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/latin2/misc" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/latin2/75dpi" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/latin2/100dpi" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/latin2/Type1" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/latin7/75dpi" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/baekmuk" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/japanese" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/kwintv" does not exist.

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/xtest" does not exist.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "CalcAlgorithm" is not used

The fancy Desktop Cude works fine, all openGL screensavers work fine, Blender3D works fine, PlaneShift works fine, but I am having issues with themes(some themes aren't cooperating with me, stupid KORE Reviving)

And I've tried it with both Nvidia's Yast RPMs and straight drivers, and I still get the same client error.

i dont know if its necessary with nvidia but with ati you have to load the dri module. To do it edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf

sudo kedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if u use kde)
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if u use gnome)

then add the line:

Load "dri"

near this lines:

Load "dbe"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "v4l"
Driver "kbd"
Driver "mouse"
Driver "nvidia"

Save the file and restart the X server. And post again glxinfo | grep direct

Nope, still nothing. Also, KDM doesn't want to work either, and I have no idea why. It won't ever stay enabled. Damn you openSuSE 10.2!!
