No menu text

Hope someone can help.

I'm running Fedora Core 11, on a Dell 640m with a 945GM chipset.

I downloaded 2.2.3 and tried to compile, no issues. However, when I run the game, I don't get any text in the menu. I do have the Deja Vu fontset installed.

So I thought maybe I compiled wrongly. I deleted the .warzone2100-2.2 folder and downloaded the binaries from KPackageKit instead, and the menu still had no text.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Deja Vu fontset, and it still doesn't work. I did some browsing around, and found a similiar problem, but happening only to Windows builds. I followed the steps (copy the etc/fonts/ folder from devpkg) but still not menu text.

By clicking around the menu, I managed to get into the actual game ( a little herky jerky since I couldn't set the graphics options ), but itt's still impossible to play without text.

Somebody help me out?

Try to update the drivers. I had this issue, when I got my EeePC. If this doesn't work... Dunnow!! ;)

I already have the latest drivers installed. According to yum, I have xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.7.0-7.fc11.i586.

It is a shitty intel video driver issue.
You may be able to try this http://www.mail-archive.com/warzone-dev ... 05994.html
If that does not work then you have to try different video drivers and maybe one will be less shitty.

I followed that link, but am not sure what the fix is?

BTW, Fedora 11 on a Dell user with the same 'no menu text' problem.

Update to the latest quesoGLC for starters.
If that doesn't fix it, then try different video drivers.

What gfx chipset you have?
