README for Linux SVGALib Quake
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
|
|
- X11R5 later, only tested with XFree86, should work with most X Servers
|
|
- libc 5.2.18 or later (5.0.9 will not work, /lib/libc.so.5.2.18)
|
|
- CD-ROM for CDAudio
|
|
- Soundcard capable of mmap'd buffers. USSLite 3.5.4 was used to build squake
|
|
with. Works fine on SoundBlaster 16 and Gravis Ultrasound MAX.
|
|
- SVGALib supported mouse (usually if it works with X, it'll work with
|
|
squake).
|
|
- Kernel 2.0.24 or later
|
|
- untested with 2.1 kernels, your mileage may vary
|
|
|
|
This is a windowed version that is generic for X11. It runs in a window
|
|
and can be resized. You can specify a starting window size with:
|
|
-width <width>
|
|
-height <height>
|
|
-winsize <width> <height>
|
|
Default is 320x200. It works in 16bit modes, but it's slower (twice as many
|
|
bytes to copy).
|
|
|
|
No other video modes are supported (just runs windowed). Mouse is read, but
|
|
not "grabbed" by default. Go to the Options menu and turn on Use Mouse to grab
|
|
the mouse and use it in the game. If you want to move the mouse out of
|
|
QWCL, you have to turn Use Mouse off.
|
|
|
|
Full sound support is included. The default sound rate is 16-bit stereo,
|
|
11KHz. You can change this in the options section below.

|
New Command Line Options for Linux SVGAlib Quake
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
-mem <mb>
|
|
Specify memory in megabytes to allocate (default is 8MB, which should be fine
|
|
for most needs).
|
|
|
|
-nostdout
|
|
Don't do any output to stdout
|
|
|
|
-cddev <device>
|
|
CD device, default is /dev/cdrom
|
|
|
|
-sndbits <8 or 16>
|
|
Set sound bit sample size. Default is 16 if supported.
|
|
|
|
-sndspeed <speed>
|
|
Set sound speed. Usual values are 8000, 11025, 22051 and 44100.
|
|
Default is 11025.
|
|
|
|
-sndmono
|
|
Set mono sound
|
|
|
|
-sndstereo
|
|
Set stereo sound (default if supported)
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Boot DOS (I know, but you need it to run the Quake install program) and
|
|
install Quake from your Quake CD to a DOS parition.
|
|
|
|
Boot Linux and make a directory for Quake. Copy everything from the DOS Quake
|
|
directory into it. i.e.:
|
|
(cd /dos/quake; tar cf - .) | (cd ~/quake; tar xf -)
|
|
|
|
Quake for X11 does not need to be setuid root. Sound can fail if /dev/dsp is
|
|
not mode 666.
|
|
|
|
Quake may segfault if it tries to initialize your sound card and their isn't
|
|
one. Same with the CDROM. If it dies, try it with -nosound and/or
|
|
-nocdaudio. If you have a sound card it died on and you know it is
|
|
supported by USSLite (the driver that comes with the Linux kernel), let me
|
|
know and I'll take a look at it.
|
|
|
|
It should work with SCSI CDROMs, but is untested.
|
|
|
|
Full TCP/IP network support is in, including listen and dedicated server
|
|
modes.
|
|
|
|
All of the options described in TECHINFO.TXT and MANUAL.TXT from the Quake
|
|
distribution will work, 'cept for stuff with vid modes and stuff.
|
|
|
|
End Notes

|
|
Linux Quake is *NOT* an officially supported product. Mail about it
|
|
will be deleted. Do not email id about this product. If you are having
|
|
technical difficultly, you can email me, but make sure you have the correct
|
|
kernel, libc, svgalib and other software versions before you email me.
