Quake2 will launch from terminal but not gnome menu.

[smack]

This is the original launch script.


#!/bin/sh

readlink() {
local path=$1 ll

if [ -L "$path" ]; then
ll="$(LC_ALL=C ls -l "$path" 2> /dev/null)" &&
echo "${ll/* -> }"
else
return 1
fi
}

LANG=POSIX
export LANG
script=$0
count=0
while [ -L "$script" ]
do
script=$(readlink "$script")
count=`expr $count + 1`
if [ $count -gt 100 ]
then
echo "Too many symbolic links"
exit 1
fi
done
GAME_DIR=`dirname $script`

trap "setxkbmap" EXIT

if [ ! "$NOUSLAYOUT" = "true" ]; then
#games are better played with us keyboard layout
setxkbmap -symbols 'us(pc101)'
fi

cd $GAME_DIR
cd $SUBDIR

xgamma -gamma 1.3
./$GAME_BINARY "$CMD_ARGS" "$@"
EXITCODE="$?"
xgamma -gamma 1

# reset kb layout
setxkbmap

exit $EXITCODE


That's a ton of junk so I tried simplifying to this.


#!/bin/sh
cd "/usr/local/games/quake2/"
./sdlquake2 $*
exit $?


Those both work fine when launching them in a terminal but if I launch them from my gnome menu my screen flickers a bit like it launched and then crashed immediatly. I need to be able to launch this game normally so it can work with XQF. Does anyone have a suggestion? :cry:

*edit* oh yeah this is the latest version downloaded from liflg.
