Open source graphics card driver support

[mauriziopez]

Hi all,
whenever i try to run vdrift, i get this errors:

Code:

ERROR: You don't have an NVIDIA or ATI/AMD card.  This game may not run correctly or at all.
INFO: Video card information:
      Vendor: DRI R300 Project

googling on this forum i found it's dued to "bad" graphic card driver and I should install proprietary drivers.
But I have an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 graphic card and my o.s. is Kubuntu 9.10 (latest stable) so, Ati's driver doesn't support it more :cry:

Could you make VDrift compatible with mesa open source graphic drivers too?


Thank you very much!
maui.

The code simply checks if Vendor/Renderer strings contain NVIDIA, AMD or ATI. The game runs fine even on Mobile Intel 4 Series.

For me it looks more like a vdrift data problem. Please check the vdrift data path.

You can get vdrift data from:

Code:

svn co https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data vdrift-data
