Hi,
I've finally found the time to try running Unreal Tournament on FreeBSD.
There are a few informative pages out there which helped me a lot.[1]
I finally managed to get version 436 (from lokigames website) to run. It
starts up and runs without any problems, but the sound lags behind the
graphics for about 1 or 2 seconds.
Does anybody know what I can do about this?
I have installed the ports
linux_base-6.1 The base set of packages needed in Linux mode
linux_devtools-6.1 Packages needed for doing development in Linux mode
and the linux rpms:
mktemp-1.5-1
gzip-1.2.4-14
cpio-2.4.2-13
tar-1.13.11-1
findutils-4.1-32
Glide_V2-2.53-6 [2]
My Hardware is:
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor (598.84-MHz 686-class CPU)
real memory = 134152192 (131008K bytes)
a soundblaster 64 PCI
sbc0: <Creative SB AWE64> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1,5 on isa0
pcm0: <SB DSP 4.16> on sbc0
and a 3dfx voodo II card
The kernel-config file contains only
device pcm
as sound-related lines
/dev/soundstat outputs:
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Nov 23 2000 03:20:01
Installed devices:
pcm0: <SB DSP 4.16> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:5 (1p/1r channels duplex)
The whole thing is on a relatively new 4.2-STABLE 'world':
FreeBSD btl 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #3: Thu Nov 23 03:20:31 CET 2000 root@btl:/usr/src/sys/compile/BTL i386
Sound output generally wors fine for me (playing .mp3 and .au's)
xkoules (from ports) does have sound lag, too. But xblast (from ports,
too) doesn't. I'm a bit at a loss now.
Is it the soundcard, or a driver issue? Can I fix that somehow? Any help
would be appreciated...
CU,
Sec
[1] unfortunately they are not completely up to date, i had to build the
libglide from source, which required installing a bunch of rpms in the
linux-emu.
[2] built from 'Glide_V2-2.53-6.src.rpm'
