Quake3World

I was trying to play quake III arena on my new netbook which is dual booting win7 starter and linux moblin. but when i try to open quake i get an error message saying


"Could Not load OpenGL subsystem"


I have also heard that it is possible to play q3a on moblin.
please, if anyone has any way to solve this it would be greatly appreciated!!! I WANNA PLAY SO BADLY!!!


THX!

By the way... I have a Toshiba nb255 series netbook

look up the specs

Intel 3150? You need to install the drivers for it. Performance is going to suck, though.

suck? why ive seen it play on the aspire one with good response...

Just wait until there is a fair bit of action going on. Your framerates will drop through the ground, even with all details turned off.

Every time i try to install the newest (is 8.14.10.2117 newest?) driver which specifically states is made for intel atom processors with media accelerator 3150 (all mine) i get an error stating that the driver was not made for my computer! WTF????


HALP MEH!!!

if someone has a link to the correct driver to get q3a running, hand it over

There's still current day computers that have trouble running Q3? Wow. Even high end mobile phones run Q3 at 20 - 30 fps.

Those phones have dedicated, fast graphics memory. The Intel 3150 leeches it from (the much slower) main memory. Still, it's pretty good bang for the buck.

doesnt aspire one have 3150? cause ive seen plenty of videos of the aa1 playing q3 with zero lag

An Intel X3100, I believe, but the Aspire One comes in several flavours. The X3100 is quite different from the 3150 BTW.

well even if it runs slowly, I STILL WANT TO PLAY PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC LOL

So, what's your favourite colour?

...blue... but srsly please help me...

I like green the best but blue is nice too.

Did you download the proper driver? The first hit on Google is a link to the 64 bits driver but perhaps you need the 32 bits version?

get the driver from ya comps manufacturer...

or get a desktop with a power generator
