    Yet another W: ET problem...

    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?

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

    Code:
    xdpyinfo | grep VidModeExtension

    Already there. (Assuming you mean the xorg in /etc/X11)

    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.
