High, I was playing this game fine through ubuntu until yesterday when I did a:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Now OpenArena appears to start loading, as it changes my resolution, and then it just exits. Leaving me with a smaller resolution and I have to restart x to fix it. Does anybody know why this happens?

If it helps, I have an onboard Intel 845G graphics chipset, and lately when I goto run programs from the termial I get the error:

i915 DRI driver expected DDX version 1-1.5.x but got version 1.4.1
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering

Well I'm no expert but it seems you need to update your DDX version. Also are you updating from dapper to edgy?

If so I wouls suggest you do the upgrade using the CD its far safer. Also if you dont know then I would also suggest you partition your driver into 3 sections: "/", "/home" & swap. having the /home as a seperate partition allow you to re-intsal any distro without loosing your data.

Yes I did upgrade dapper to edgy. So if I download the edgy CD and burn it does the installer do the formatting of my linux partition for me or do I have to do it myself some other way?

This of course assumes that the programs that one distro installs have compatible config files with the next distro, this is not always the case.

Then  I can delete the files that ain't compatible. I still find it the best way to upgrade.

My only serious problem was Mandriva->Ubuntu Breezy. I was not that experienced at that time, so finding the config file that stopped my from logging in took some time.

something i found that works is having all my stuff in a partition that's mounted on a folder in my home partition, something like /home/erachude/a. i set it up like that on any distro that i use and it means that i always had a familiar layout, yet every distro had it's own config files.

It is.  I keep /home and /srv (32-bit + development chroots) on separate partitions.
