Hey,
I may be asking for too much ... but has anyone gotten the Linux version
of America's Army Operations running on FreeBSD?
Heh, yes, I just completed Basic Combat Training :-).
It installs nicely, and tries to start, but then complains that it can't
find OpenGL (I have Mesa installed).
I tried with the nvidia driver (from ports) and a GForce Ti4200 card.
Setting __GL_SINGLE_THREADED=1 is necessary or the game won't start.
I don't know if the game can be played with other cards (UT2003 for example
can only be played with nvidia on Linux/FreeBSD).
Hmmm ... I tried to install it on a basic vid card with the SVGA driver
for X. The more I think about it, I don't know why I expected it to work
at all.
Any success stories, or anyone interested in working with me to get this
running?
It feels flaky: I had it hang a couple of times while loading a mission,
and sometimes it's crashing, either on start or on exit with a Backtrace:
Doesn't sound bad to me. It tends to do that on Windows, which is the
platform it was designed for. Although the actual frequency of crashes
may be more.

Also, there are these messages:

fcntl: Invalid argument
Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
fcntl: Invalid argument
but I think they're harmless.
I'm trying to install on 5.1 at the moment ...
Tried this on 4.8-stable. Having remote access to the machine is recommended
to 'kill -9' when it misbehaves.
Thanks, but now that I'm looking at the situation again, I'm guessing I'm going
to have to get a better video card before I've got any chance of it working, and
(with my current work outlook) it may be a while before I dump any cash into a
gaming video card.
