Video Card Driver issues

Cobra!:
Okay, thanks anyway.

I tried running MOHAA in the terminal, and this was what came out:

--- Code: ---fixme:service:scmdatabase_autostart_services Auto-start service L"SecDrv" failed to start: 2
--- End code ---

I looked this up and apparently it's a DRM issue, but the game didn't have this problem before it at least tried to run the program before, not it doesn't, why is this problem all of a sudden occurring? How do i fix it?

EDIT: I got that fixed, but now I'm back to the grey screen issue. I was told that that problem is usually caused by an anti-virus blocking the program, but when I tried disabling my anti-virus (Comodo), it still didn't run.

So what now?

Robot Arena 2 doesn't start for me either, but I've heard that despite having mouse issues, it should at least start up and show the main menu? Both games only show a Grey screen for a few seconds, then close.

Youtube videos still go very slow as well. So what's going on?

I don't know really right now. At least you went back to original setup at least and things look a little better.
Not being a gamer myself. I am no expert on why a certain game won't play vs a game that does.
Hopefully some other member will know why.
Sorry.  :-[

Cobra!:
Yeah, I switched back to the open-source driver after finding out that with the propriety driver, no games were even starting up, and that included 3DFX and OpenGL games. Does that mean I have to run those tests again?

EDIT: Doesn't matter, here are the results:

I've also discovered something, I tried out Rollcage 2 just there for the first time, and it worked perfectly in D3D mode! Maybe DirectX isn't the problem...

If that's the case, though, then how come games like Medal of Honor: Allied Assault doesn't start up for me despite getting a "Gold" rating on WineHQ? Robot Arena 2 doesn't start for me either, but I've heard that despite having mouse issues, it should at least start up and show the main menu? Both games only show a Grey screen for a few seconds, then close.

Youtube videos still go very slow as well. So what's going on?

rokytnji:
Seems like things have gone down hill for you after you used the gui installer. I did a new install on this Compaq Laptop yesterday on a new internall SSD. It is a close match to your video chip by one number.


--- Code: ---@biker1:~$ inxi -G
Graphics:  Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 6250]
           X.Org: 1.15.1 drivers: ati,radeon (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: [email protected]
           GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on AMD PALM GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 10.1.3

--- End code ---

you won't get a inxi command found. I installed inxi via
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install inxi
--- End code ---
in my install.


--- Code: ---@biker1:~$ glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"
direct rendering: Yes

--- End code ---

You said


--- Code: ---I chose a propriety one as it seems open-source ones don't seem fit for games. I clicked "Apply Changes", and a bar loaded up and took a while to complete, so I assumed that was it installed,
--- End code ---
But your latest readout still shows radeon (which is open sources) driver being used.

No direct rendering anymore either. Looks to me like your attempt to install the proprietary driver went way wrong somehow.
Without seeing what happened with the install process. I can't say what happended myself.
I am getting kinda lost on this thread on what to suggest next.

Cobra!:

--- Quote from: rokytnji on August 15, 2014, 08:44:32 PM ---Well since you changed out drivers. Guess what. Your readout info will be changed also.

So not knowing what driver you installed or how well it is acting.

You will need to repeat the steps I gave in my previous post.

Ah! I guess that makes sense. Okay, here:

--- Code: ---direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

(That doesn't look good...)

I just had a look, and I found a few topics with the same issue as mine, but no solution...

EDIT: I'm not sure if this would be any help at all, but I found out that I had "AMD Catalyst Control Center" installed, but I get this error message when I try to start it:
