[plug] Tux racer in lotto ad?

[Richard Barnes]

Just as an aside to this topic, I have installed most of the games on
the Mandrake 8.1 CD's and all those I've tried work fine except tux
racer and flight gear. When I click on the menu option nothing seems to
happen (I've also tried running the binaries directly with no affect).
Is there a log file anywhere that may give me some clues as to the
cause, or what is actually taking place? For some reason with my
graphics card/monitor combo I can't use a resolution greater than
600x800 or greater than 16bit colour (it's quite happy with higher
resolutions and colour depths under windoz). Could this have something
to do with it maybe? When I try, the server fails and I get the
following error message...
	(EE) VESA(0) No matching modes.
	(11) Unloading /usr/x11r6/lib/modules/libddc.a

I know these may be two separate problems and it's no drama at the
moment because 600x800 is fine for the time being, but any thoughts
anyone on the list may have as to what may be going on, or where I
should be looking, would be good. Although my graphics card is not in
the database (Hercules 3d prophet 4500) the chipset (kyro2) is detected
ok during installation and my monitor (Compaq p140) is in the database.
I should have mentioned, I'm running KDE 2.2 and 4.10 version of x.
