Tuxracer Crashes to Desktop...


Hi, guys - I finally got my graphics acceleration working - and I get just shy of 10K fps on glxgears when it's minimized, now.

Now the other problem - I have the fglrx_6_8_0-8.20.8-1.i386 drivers installed, and every time that I run tuxracer, it crashes to the desktop, at about 640x480, with a panning desktop of 1280x1024 (i.e., it's a huge desktop, but only shows 1/4 or so of it and moves when you move the mouse to the sides of the screen)

Any ideas on how I can get tuxracer to work without crashing? I'm certain that it will run smoothly now - if I can just get it to run.........

Thanks

That's what's left in the terminal window, if I run it from the terminal.
