Yet another W: ET problem...

[traherom]

Using a version of ET scp'd off the Ohio Supercomputer Center's BALE cluster (yes, I actually have an account there), I try to run Enemy Territory, but get:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display "192.168.2.39:0.0".
Received signal 11, exiting...

Hm... how can I enable/get the "VidModeExtension?" Thanks in advance.

--EDIT--
I just tried it with the installer. Same error.

Do you have the following line as part of the modules section of your xorg.conf file?

Load "extmod"

I believe thats where it gets loaded, you can check with the following command:

xdpyinfo | grep VidModeExtension

Load "extmod"Already there. :( (Assuming you mean the xorg in /etc/X11)

xdpyinfo | grep VidModeExtension
Nope... no output.

Thanks for the reply.

What graphics card and drivers are you using? If it's an nvidia card you need to install the nvidia drivers via apt-get or synaptic.
