Copyright (c) 2005, All Rights Reserved
System requirements:
Enabled 3D graphics acceleration in X
glibc 2.2.4 or higher
(Darwinia requires glibc 2.2 and supplied libgcc_s.so.1 requires glibc 2.2.4)
libstdc++.so.5
Advanced Configuration and Troubleshooting
==========================================
The demo and full game uses ~/.darwinia/demo or ~/.darwinia/full
respectively to store user preferences and save-games. In that
directory you should find a file called preferences.txt which contains
various settings. Some of the more important ones are described below:
RenderLandscapeMode
try setting it to 1 or 2 if you are experiencing
polygon flicker, especially with the ATI fglrx drivers. This
may also speed up rendering for those with fast graphics cards.
ManuallyScaleTextures
try setting it to 1 if the game crashes at the beginning
and the blackbox.txt mentions gluBuild2DMipmaps
XineramaHack
try setting it to 0 if the mouse has a constant shift in any
direction. This will disable guessing the Xinerama mouse offset.
Running the full game
=====================
In order to play the full game, you need to download the full Linux version
from
Darwinia.co.uk and supplement the data files from
the
Windows CD-ROM.
Sound
=====
The default sound mode is OSS. If you prefer to use ALSA, make sure that
the SDL_AUDIODRIVER environment variable is set to alsa:
$ export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
