Java crash

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to run Wurm on a Gentoo Linux desktop with a Radeon R9 950 using the open source drivers.

Every time I try to start Wurm it crashes immediately on trying to switch into 3D mode:

I'm not an expert at reading those things, buit it looks to me like some library is trying to call a function in another library with the wrong arguments - maybe due to an API version mismatch or unimplemented features.

I've tried various combination of llvm/libdrm/mesa versions and none of them seem to resolve the error.

I looked into installing the Catalyst drivers, and they are awful. They don't work with the newest kernel/xorg versions would require extensive package downgrading to run.


 


Is there any way at all to play Wurm with the open source Radeon drivers?

x11-drivers/ati-drivers-15.9 should work with any version of x11-base/xorg-server in the default portage tree. You might try adding x11-drivers/ati-drivers-15.9 to /etc/portage/package.keywords.

 

Regarding the kernel problem, there is a patch at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548118 and a forum post with installation instructions and a discussion of the problem at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1020106.html .

I didn't glean anything useful from your pastebin dump and don't have any experience with ATI cards. :/

 

I've never used an ati card, but if the open source drivers are anything like those for nvidia cards, you'll generally have less headache going with the closed source drivers if you plan on running 3d games on the system.
