Tf2 Only Appears In The Top Right Corner

Used windowed and got bullshit, also tried -dxlevel 80 and 85.

 

@shortkid this is a fresh install on a different computer,

 

Trying to get it to run on this Inspiron 1545. It worked last year but one vital thing has changed. It is now running Ubuntu 12.10...

What drivers are you running? In Ubuntu changing the 'DX' level doesn't really do anything seeing as TF2 is ran in "OpenGL mode" in *nix OSes.

 

I know with nVidia there is a proprietary driver and an open source variant of it.

I only remember putting a wireless driver on because I thought Ubuntu came with most drivers...

wireless?

 

I'm assuming you mean graphics, and yes, there are different drivers you can get for the ubuntu distros (graphic cards speaking)

Nono, I mean wireless, because that would be the only driver I manually installed...

 

Basically asking if I need to manually install graphics drivers at this point or if something else is fucked up

well we need to find what graphics version you're running

pull up your shell and type in:

lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use'

or you should have a GUI tool that gives you the same info (I don't know it's called as I don't use ubuntu but it does include it)

 

Next, find out what driver, then update it accordingly if you can

Got

Kernel driver in use: i915

 

I'm a noob with linux so I don't know how to get this driver safely, and where I'm staying has the ask ubuntu forum blocked for some fucked up reason

sorry ignore the $... those are the ones on the shell itself

 

forgot to remove them >.<

 

 

dpkg-query: package 'libglib2.0.0' is not installed
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

hmm I guess we can try uninstalling it and reinstall it

 

sudo apt-get remove libglib2.0-bin

 

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-bin

 

not sure if this works as i don't have an ubuntu machine to test it out (I run Fedora instead)
