Testing Status Untested.

Works great on my system and a colleague's- thank you, now I just need to get familiar with those new flags....

Thankyou kindly. :D

Every time I run this program it crashes my gnome.

Yup, mine crashes gnome too.

Hmm, any telltale errors? What video card?

No errors, but I am using the nvidia driver package if that's any help.

hmm... It might be an Nvidia thing. Are you using the default kernel? Can you run Glxgears without crashing? How about other OpenGL games (i.e. Supertux in OpenGL mode)

I can run glxgears and supertux fine in OpenGL mode, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

run "glxinfo", check for a line (near top) that says:

direct rendering: Yes

(you can run glxgears and _not_ have 3D rendering)

if you do not have rendering them go here and check each and everything presented here:

http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting

I'm having the same problem (I have a radeon 95pro). I do have direct rendering enabled, and can play games like quake III and doom 3 (tho doom 3 crashes :().

Do you have any other ideas or suggestions?

Thx

Very weird -- I've failed to reproduce these problems. Perhaps I'll do a rebuild.

Every time I run this program it crashes my gnome. It doesn't crash my gnome but the game isn't fully responding to my input. When press <tab> it won't jump the tank, so I tried to remap the key and still get nothing. Anyone had that problem?

Sounds silly but has the server you're connecting to turned off jumping?
