Hi Mandla,

You are a Diamond! I’ve just jumped ship from Debian Lenny to Ubuntu Feisty and have been using the nvidia-glx drivers which worked but were not rendering any textures…

Your 8776 patch worked a treat and textures have returned – Thanks again!

On my travels I found a couple of posts with the same problems – I posted a link to your solution at

Hope you don’t mind!

Thanks again – now to grab Enemy Territory…

All I know is he uses Linux? and it is NOT a Mac. Will this download work for him?

Here’s a link. I’m assuming he uses a regular PC, and not an AMD64 computer. …

http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/releases/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso

That’s at the University of Utah, which is usually a pretty fast download. If it’s not, try one of the other sites listed here, and use the “alternate” ISO file.

GR8T idea. Do I download the alternate on Ubuntu site? Thank you so much for your help. I am NOT the computer whiz that he is, and he is not here!
