Mutual GNU / Linux


Client won't start on linux

Great news, I figured out the user error! I got the game working with the Nvidia driver, but still haven't figured out what was wrong with the nouveau driver. I will explain how I got it so anyone with the same problem can just read this.

The problem I was having was that the Nvidia driver was using the nouveau settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d instead of the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which is created by running the nvidia-xconfig command. To fix this I just created a "save" directory in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and put 10-monitor.conf and 20-nouveau.conf in there. That way x.org didn't read the settings in 10-monitor.conf and 20-nouveau.conf and use them in place of the ones in xorg.conf. I think I just needed to move 10-moniter.conf, but I moved both just to be sure. Once it was using the correct settings the game ran flawlessly, although my default kebindings were different than my window's ones :D Be sure not to get rid of xorg.conf.d because it handles other settings, like keyboard input and touchpad settings. Messing with other files might cause your keyboard and touchpad not to work once X starts. If I figure out how to get Nouveau to work I will post that as well. Thanks for all of the help guys.
