I am trying to get enemy territory running on my Debian sarge linux box (one of my last things I need to do before I erase that pesky windows partion!).

I have installed it and the update, however when I run it it changes the resolution to 800x600 then logs me out of kde.

I have installed the nvidia driver update (now get the nvidia splash screen), and glxgears runs fine.

I am relatively new to linux (4 days) so if anyone has any suggestions here then I would be very pleased to hear from you.

If i type:

et +set developer 1 &>etrun.log

I can redirect the run log to a file, and it is as follows:
