Freebsd amd64 problems

[Ethan A Burns]

Hello,
I have am trying to run the quake2 binary on freebsd for my amd64. The softx
module does not display more than a thin line and some black, so I am using
the softsdl. softsdl seems to work fine untill I load up the first level and
try to play. I can sit there as long as I'd like and everything goes well, but
if I move forward there's a certain place that, never fail, gives me a bus error (SDL Parachute Deployed). When I gdb this, I get an internal GDB error right
when the level starts to load up and gdb dies.

I tried the opengl libraries (glx and sdl), however, it seems that if openGL
returns NULL for GL_VENDOR or GL_RENDERER (which my implementation does both
apparently) there is a segfault in one of the next couple strcpys (according
to gdb).

Have any of these probs been encountered before?

Ethan,
Software rendering has known problems on amd64, there's something about
casting pointers as 32-bit ints I think, but I haven't investigated
more...


I'll check on the GL_FOO returning null causing a segfault and let you
know...

Thanks!
