Hi guys

I installed assaultcube and nexuiz and unless i run them as root (sudo) the graphics are totally screwed up - basically lines of colour running horizontally across the screen. I have to restart to do anything...

So when i run assualtcube as root, and play after a few minutes (5 to 10) the screen exits full screen, i loose all keyboard and mouse control and i have to restart. The game continues in the background, but i have no control - not even CRTL ALT BKSPCE works...

any ideas how to fix any of this mess?
