Help: OpenGL for UT in linux

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

the default driver in UT is SDLGL driver, but the gameplay lags badly
sometimes. since i heard OpenGL driver is better, so i decided to use
OpenGL instead. but i'm having trouble setting up OpenGL in linux for
UT.

i edited ut ini file in the game directory
~/.loki/ut/System/UnrealTournament.ini.


[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

but when i reloaded the game, in the preference -> video settings,
video driver displayed as <?int?OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRen...>, which doesn't
seem right. it looks and plays the same as the original SD OpenGL
driver.

i also downloaded an updated version of OpenGL driver(OpenDrv.so) and
replace the original file in the system folder, not sure if i need to
compile it before i can actually use it

any suggestions?

yeah, i'm running UT on RH linux and has a ATI rage pro card
installed.

thank you

now OpenGL is displayed as video driver after the change. However
it's not very different from SDL driver. i only got one resolution to
choose from: 800x600, same as with SDL. gameplay still lags in OpenGL
mode.

well, maybe it's my machine, i have UT running in RH Linux7.2 on a
600MHZ Dell machine with 192M RAM and a ATI Rage Pro card...however,
UT runs much better in Windows98 (i have a dual boot win98/linux on
this machine).
