Games not appearing after being installed.

[Cartwheels4amile]

I wanted to try a few linux games, so I went ahead and installed Trigger, tuxkart, and xracer. Unfortunately, after Synaptic finished the install, only Trigger showed up under Applications>Games, and even then, when I click on it, it fails to start.:confused: I'm running Xubuntu, so my desktop environment is Xfce, if that makes a difference.

Thanks.

Try start via command eg.


trigger

etc.

Did you remember to install the 3D acc driver for your graphic card?

I'm running a Toshiba Portege 7140ct... the video card is a Trident CyberBlade e4-128. Being really new to linux (just a week or so) I really have no idea what I'm doing. If needed, I'll ask more in Hardware Support.

Heh, you'll better do ;) Havn't heard that brand before.
