Hi,
we installed spring on an ubuntu system today, it run's ok, but there are no terrain textures (Terrain is white, with the detailtexture applied to it, looks like snow^^)
It's the same on every map, is there anything I can do against it?

read the wiki http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/SetupGuide#Map_is_White and draw your conclusion from it

Mhh, I've got an Dell Inspiron 6400, with a intel 945GM. Anyone knows if spring runs on that system with other drivers?
I tried searching for new ones but couldn't find them. I don't even know exactly wich driver I've got installed, where can I find that?

Envy is what I recommend to people for drivers:

http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/ ... u9_all.deb

As for the Intel card, it should work there, give it a try.

Mhh, will this be useful for an intel chipset?

Oops, sorry, no.

Intel drivers are shipped with the ubuntu repositories, so if you keep your updates on, you're good as it is.

The thing is that there's 2 things you need to have to support this - a graphics card that supports it, and a driver that supports it. If the graphics card doesn't support it, no driver will help. Which is the case with you, I suspect.

The graphics card shall support it, as I've got it in another notebook with windows. Spring runs there, not with the best details, but it runs smooth and without foughts.

Then it is the driver :?

8.04 is coming out in less than a month, might help your prob. I had the same thing no my radeon 7500 - everything worked on it (compiz did just fine), but the ground textures wouldn't show.

BTW, which version of OpenGL is it?

this shows you how to install drivers manually and fine tune them.

Seems like X is allowing only 12 mb of memory to your Graphic Card, wich could be the problem, though i don't know if spring goes over those settings or not.

Still if you got a 945GM on ubuntu this could be an interresting read.

Other thing, if you run linux, be prepared to do a lot of search by yourself, since every configuration have it's specific problem, wich the spring linux community may not be able to resolve since it's kinda sparse :-)
