Problems with Tremulous

[aclaunch]

I just downloaded the standalone version and it seems to have installed OK. When I go to play the screen blanks, sound comes on and then nothing-no graphics, just the sound playing. Escape. enter etc doesn't work and to quit, I have to log in to another VT and kill the game. Other games seem to work fine.

Dapper latest (5/15/06), PIII 500MHz, 786M RAM, Nvidia cad 32M RAM

What does it say if you try it from a terminal?

Seen another person using Dapper on there (lots of Ubuntu peeps) so I'll ask if he's had any problems when I see him next..

I just installed this game on my laptop, suprisingly it dosen't take much processing power. Although, the only resolution I can get broadcasts a 2in border around the screen. I'm going to see if there are updates for the drivers on my video chipset.

Although in bad resolution game runs good.

This is what I get when trying to start from a terminal:

It looks like an SDL or OpenGL issue but where do I go from here?

Go into the game - press play and use an empty server. Once you are in-game, then press Esc->Options->System->GFX Software->Screen size and max it out.

Hopefully that'll sort it :)

aclaunch..obvious question, but do you have the libsdl libraries installed?
