RE: DOOM error

[jayanthms <jayanthms@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Check the README files under /usr/doc/doom-1.8 for details about further
configuartions of doom. I think that it talks about the sndserver file being
in the path.

About the resolution : I set the resolution to 1024X768 (16-bit) from
XF86setup.I am using the SiSSG86C201 driver (SVGA server) with the chip-set
set to sissg86c205. I have only 1MB VRAM on my SiS6215c video card.

With regards,
Jayanth

Hi Jayanth,

Thanks a lot. I have done as you have said. I am running KDE with
800x600(16bit) and I got the same error which you have got. But from the
linux
prompt DOOM runs fluently. The only missing part is the music which is not
playing. Rest everything such as SFX sounds are working excellently. Why the
Music is not playing ? Any idea ?

Since you are running windowmaker in 1024x768 resolution, I just wanted to
ask
you one more thing. Any special configuration is required to bring my
resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768.  I tried changing the resolution in
XF66Config file. But the screen looks garbled in that resolution. In
Windows I am getting 1024x768 resolution with the same card SiS6215 with
2MB VRAM.

Thanks again.


Rajesh
