[RESOLVED] Slackware X crash

borgonero

Hi all
I'm writing to search a solution with a problem I'm facing with. I always played Doom under Doomsday launching it with the command

doomsday -iwad MYHOME/.doomsday/wads/doom.wad

on the same Slackware machine (actually I'm using Slack64 14.1 with Nvidia proprietary drivers for my GeForce 8600GTS instead of the Nouveau blacklisted) until about 20 days ago: It started to crash X and so no more Doom.
Can someone help me? I'm here for every .log/document you need to try to resolve my problem.
Thanks in advance

It would be helpful to see your doomsday.out (probably in "~/.doomsday/runtime/"), that shows your exact version number, any resource packs, etc. you're using.

Thank you Skyjake
Here is my .doomsday/runtime/doomsday.out

Application path: /usr/bin/doomsday

Just to eliminate it and given that the last line is about your joystick; have you tried running Dday with it unplugged?

KuriKai

What video card you using? what driver?

@Vermil
Yes, nothing changed

@Kurikai
The latest proprietary drivers from Nvidia for my GeForce 8600 GTS.

When X crashes, I receive messages about Fatal IO error - Client killed and Fatal IO error 11 from KdeInit (I'm using Xfce). If it helps, I always compiled Deng from it sources with this procedure from Doomsday directory (and it always worked...):

mkdir temp
cd temp
qmake ../doomsday/doomsday.pro
qmake -r ../doomsday/doomsday.pro CONFIG+=deng_notools
make
make install

Many thanks for your interest

Have you tried the "-nofsaa" command line option when starting Doomsday? 1.14.5 defaults to antialiasing enabled.

KuriKai

also, is there any output in dmesg, /var/log/dmesg, or /var/log/syslog ?

Hi
I've resolved the problem with a downgrade of the Nvidia official drivers. The first time Doomsday crashed I haven't installed a newest driver over the working one, I really have no idea how it's happened. But now I have my Deng again...
Thank you so much guys for your interest and help
