Hi all I am trying to play fs2 open on linux i followed the wiki on this site
However when I try to play the game i get the following error message:

fs2_oper_r: radeon_state.c:744: radeonUpdateSpecular: Assertion `(p & (1 << 21)) !=0' failed

any idea how to make the game work?
thanks in advance

pd I have a pentium 4 3.06 with an ATI Igp 345 graphic card

Do you have the proper Radeon driver installed? Why have I never heard of that graphics card before?

[Polpolion]

Are you using a luinix build?

[Mars]

sizzler, you usually need to compile from CVS on Linux, so it's pretty safe to assume he's using a Linux build

Thanks to you for the replies
Si I do not use any ati driver as my card is one of the last that is not supported by the propietary ati driver, but by the open ati driver built in xorg and xfree. So as far as it can be done the driver is well installed. And yes I used cvs autogen.sh ./configure make. So for this part it should work perfectly. So getting back to the card this is a chip built in to the mainboard (of my hp-compaq nx 9010 notebook) but i know that the card is good enough for playing the game as the game works with the icculus.org installer and the game installed with the installer.

Any idea?

Hi i could make a work around though is not a real resolution for my problem but at least it works. If i use -nothl option then the game works but of course in software rendering mode.
I still waiting for your ideas how to make my ati radeon igp 345 work
(just in case this is my lspci:
0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS200/RS200M AGP Bridge [IGP 340M] (rev 02)
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64

I'm afraid that it won't.  I think that the IGP 345 is based on a 7000 or 7500 ATI chipset, and that just isn't good enough to run FSO.  An ATI 9000 or above chipset is pretty much the low end of the minimum requirements (though I think some have manged to get a few of the 8xxx series to work, barely).

You may be able to get the drivers to fake most of the missing hardware stuff in that card, but it would run so slow that you'll hate it.  Sorry.

I've managed to get FSO to run on my second PCs Radeon 7200 so it is possible. Try running it with no media VPs and no fancy graphics settings. It won't look any better than retail but at least you can play the new SCP only missions that way.

However as Taylor says that's not a supported card so if it doesn't work there's not really much we can do about it.
