I'm not sure if this is the right section of the forum for this, but since it looks like doom3 is causing the problem, I figured I'd start off here?
I'd been running breezy (last installed from the preview disk) and after fighting a neverwinter nights install, I seemed to have everything running fairly well. So I decided to install from the new release. Being new to linux, I'd not loaded a lot of extras [thunderbird; totem-xine w/libdvdcss2; planner; neverwinter nights; doom3; kubuntu-desktop; kmahjongg (first time); kde-games (2nd & 3rd times); amd64-k8 kernel (1st two times); and a printer]. Not paying a lot of attention, the first two times I'd run kmahjongg and got a kde-related network error (if I'm remembering correctly?).
This last time I paid more attention ... after installing each extra, I shut the system down and rebooted. Thinking that my problem was related to kde (the kubuntu-desktop of the games), I've not loaded either at this point. I did run into a continuing problem with neverwinter nights ... changing the video resolution to 1024x768 blanks the screen and the only way to get out of the program is to shut the system down. When I boot back up, I can go into neverwinter nights and it comes up at 1024x768. Using the linux files from zerowing, and then copying the pak files from the windows cds, I can get doom3 access. after making changes to the "options" (I think I only changed the player name), on reboot I ended up with the above message again. I've tried leaving ownership with root and with me, but had the blowup both times.
So far everything seems to be working again ... but I've not installed doom or the kde stuff.
I'm running an amd-64 4000+ motherboard with 2GB of 3200 ram. I have 2 300 GB SATA drives and have installed a BFG 6800 GT (I've installed the 7667 drivers and made the changes to xorg.conf; glxgears is running at around 11500 fps). Sound is supplied by the motherboard.
any idea what the problem might be?
