I just get a black screen, a `ding` in my speakers, and then it returns me back to the command prompt – no errors. WTF?
I had this same problem. I solved it by putting the Miles libraries into one of the paths that were listed in my /etc/ld.so.conf file. Alternately, I could have added the path to the Miles libraries (/usr/local/games/nwn/miles) to my ld.so.conf file. Other people have other fixes. Some people put a link called libGL.so into their NWN directory or in the Miles directory, which they pointed at NVidia’s libGL.so.1 file. Also, make sure that AGP is enabled. To do so, run this command: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status and check the output. You should see that the Status is “Enabled” and which driver you are using – most likely to be AGPGART or NVIDIA. If these settings aren’t right, adjust them. You can add Option “NvAGP” “1” or Option “NvAGP” “2” to your /etc/X11/XF86Config file under the Device section for your NVidia card. Note: Some distros use XF86Config-4 as a file name instead. If you continue to receive crashes, try upgrading to the latest NVidia drivers. Don’t forget to rmmod nvi
