quake3 1.16n segfault

smokey2k · 2011-09-28 17:04:23

Hi!

system:
archlinux: x86_64
kernel: 3.0-ck (linux-ck-core2 from aur) or 3.0 ("vanilla" archlinux kernel) both installed.
videodriver: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 280.13 (nvidia-ck-core2 from aur) or the default 280.13 from regular archlinux repos.
audio: OSS 4.2

packages: all required lib32 packages (mesa, nvidia-utils etc.)

[4.3.12]{1}smokey2k@p5b:~/Downloads> ldd  quake3.x86
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7799000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libX11.so.6 (0xf764c000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libXext.so.6 (0xf763e000)
        libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf7639000)
        libm.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf760f000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf74a5000)
        libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libxcb.so.1 (0xf748d000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf779a000)
        libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libXau.so.6 (0xf748a000)
        libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xf7485000)

So my problem is this: linux Quake III 1.32b or c works like a charm on my current system under 3.0 or 3.0-ck kernel (usually with higher fps than win7 .... aprox 200 fps). But the 1.16n version drops me back to terminal with segmentation fault error. The only reason why i want to run this old outdated version is that my friend operates this old old version of quake 3 server and i want to play there. If anyone heard about nohost servers or freeztag they understand the reason

So im just curious why this binary (released on 2001) does not work ? I tried on x86 version of archlinux with same result. Interestingly this version works perfect on other distros (ubuntu debian) with older kernel (i think 2.6.35).
Currently kernel.org is still down, so i cant install older kernels from aur for experimenting
Is there a new option in kernel 3.0 that's responsible for old binary segfault ?

Thanx in advance.

ps: the binaries can download here cus the old 1.16n installer what you can find somewhere in the net not work with modern distros.
