Description

Checking that your card and software can render id Tech 3 (Quake III Arena engine)-based games. You must be using a card supported by the Radeon video driver.


How to test

  1. Ensure the 'nomodeset' kernel parameter is not enabled in your bootloader configuration (unless you need it for basic X operation to suceed)
  2. Ensure that
    glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer'
    does not return:
    OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
  3. Install the openarena package: yum -y install openarena
  4. Launch openarena from a terminal.
  5. Edit the game settings (Esc => Setup => System): Video mode, texture details, and geometric details, according to your video card's performance (you might want to start with low settings).
  6. Launch a single player arena (WRACKDM17 has many weapons) and play for a while. Please remember, you do not need to win to complete this test case successfully.
  7. Use all the weapons in the game, especially the rocket launcher: it generates reflections on surfaces. If you see distinctly polygons instead of smooth surfaces, this is a rendering bug.
  8. Quit openarena.

Expected Results

  1. no crash.
  2. no obvious misrendering (flickering, transparent walls, polygons instead of surfaces...)
