Title: Not working under Ubuntu 6.10
Post by: biodiesel-bri on December 17, 2006, 01:51:58 PM
I grabbed the .deb (also tried the tar).  OpenGL is installed and working, the openal lib is also installed.  I'm using Kubuntu with the binary Nvidia drivers.  Fails at 1024x768x24 and 1440x900x24.

When I try and run the app it just restarts kdm - there is probably an error message but X shuts down too fast for me to see it.  Running from console gives me a permission error on /dev/fb0 but that may be because X isn't running when I try and start from console.

Any suggestions would be great.  I'd love to be able to play this.

hmm.. did you tried using "+set  s_useopenal 0" as a parameter?

I figured it out.  The binary Nvidia driver had a bug.  The 9631 update fixes it.
