I am also having problems getting the Linux client to work. When I start EVE I get the splash screen, then it disappears and then I'm left with only a black box (like how WINE acts when you don't have the Ariel font in the right place).
Now I'm getting conflicting information about the video card requirements. On the Requirements page link to by the Client Download page and the Penguins in Space Devblog, it says that the Linux client's video card requirement is, "64 MB GeForce FX class card or better"
But I am also seeing in other parts of the website, that the actual minimum required video card is an nVidia 6600 (can't find the pages/post ATM). But I guess what I'm asking is am I wasting my time trying to troubleshoot this black-screen on my nVidia FX5600 card or is it possible for this client to work with cards below the 6600?
I ran the system tests in the EVE Configuration program and they all passed. I double-check that I have all the required dependent packages listed on the requirements page for Ubuntu (I'm still running Fiesty).
Here is how the configuration utility detects my system: Quote:
cpu: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
cpu_ghz: 2.0
memory: 1011
videocard_manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
videocard_type: GeForce FX 5600/AGP/SSE2/3DNOW!
videocard_ram: 256
agp_aperture_size: 92
videocard_driver_version: 2.1.0 NVIDIA 97.55
soundcard: Chaintech AV-710 at 0x9000, irq 2
soundcard_driver: ALSA Version 1.0.13
machine_bitness: 32
kernel: 2.6.20-16-generic
x_version: Xorg Version 7.2.0
distro: Debian 4.0
GUI version: eve-000062
Also, when I start the client using the command prompt, I get the following messages:
Quote:
Single-user install...
This is the update checker...
Running /home/leecifer/.cedega/.updater/cedega_updater.py
/home/leecifer/.cedega/.updater/gddb.py:26: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module gddb_parser: This Python has API version 1013, module gddb_parser has version 1012.

import gddb_parser
I'm not sure if those python errors are game breaking, but I'm including them just in case. Also the version of Python I have installed (according to the command: python --version) is, "Python 2.5.1"
So that is where I'm sitting. I'm not sure if I should just order a video card or keep troubleshooting this because it is not clear what the video card requirements are and I'm not sure the next troubleshooting steps I should take if my video card will work.
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanx guys.
