    Oblivion doesn't work with the standard fbo mode
    It shouldn't reset the computer either. I mean, what kind of craptastic driver makes the computer reboot by trying to run a game?

    Anyway, maybe tomorrow I'll try with the usual registry tricks.

      Grats. You've just got a game released in 2006 to work 3 and a half years later :P

        Think of it this way: if you play games three years late, you get to buy them at a marginal cost compared to buying them new. :3

            So you didn't do anything? Nothing in the registry, nothing regarding directx dlls? I have a 3850, what's your card?

            The first time I ran the game the menu worked ok and the intro (something that I had never managed to see) was perfect, but the character selection was incredibly slow, and the background was all grey. I decided to quit the game, and suddenly I got a lot of corruption, the screen went into power saving mode, and... the computer restarted. After that, not even the menu worked ok (flickering).

            BTW, it may be a 3 year old game, but it's fantastic :P

                  Ok, so you MAY have used some tricks to make it work. That makes more sense.

                  Anyway, I tried with the fbo thingy in the registry, with the dx9 dll included in the game, and nothing. Still a lot of corruption, random segfaults, very low performance, etc.

                  Meh, as I said, back to the open drivers.

                      Hey Qaridarium,

                      Out of curiosity, does the 9.9 beta, or later fix the system freeze when a new X display is killed?

                      It's basically the only thing preventing me from enjoying these new drivers.


                      To test: edit
                      Code:
                      /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
                      and change

                      allowed_users=console
                      to
                      allowed_users=anybody


                      then start the server
                      Code:
                      X :3 -ac -terminate & DISPLAY=:3 [a/program]
                      when
                      You'll probably crash your system once you kill that server...
                      9.7 and 9.8 have really killed the experience for me.
                      Switching between the VTs works fine, but when I kill the new one while using it... crash. I hope things will improve in the next few releases...


                      If you don't want to test it (or if it works), a PM with a link would be nice
