quake 2 installation problems with redhat

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.quake2 (More info?)

Hey, there

I am trying to install a quake 2 version 3.20 on my redhat 9.0.
With the instructions of Linux Quake HowTo: Quake 2, everything seems
doing well. But when I type in: ./quake2 +set vid_ref softx, it quits
after giving me:

------- sound initialization -------
Cmd_AddCommand: play already defined
Cmd_AddCommand: stopsound already defined
Cmd_AddCommand: soundlist already defined
Cmd_AddCommand: soundinfo already defined
/dev/dsp: Bad address
Could not reset /dev/dsp
XIO: fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server ":0.0"
after 50 requests (50 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

It seems like a soundcard problem, but actually my soundcard works and
could play music. That looks really weird. By the way, there is no
problem if I run it as a dedicated server and I also tested my machine
with 3.14 demo(no sound) and it ran well.

Any idea?

IIRC Quake wants OSS and if you have only ALSA it won't go, so check
the snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss modules are going (lsmod).

Those sure look ok. So move on... check if you have read/write permissions
to /dev/dsp. And see if the game works when run as root. Good luck.
