For some reason, whenever I play Armagetron (an OpenGL 3D Tron Game), I randomly get logged out after awhile. I don't get an error message, I just get taken to the log in screen. It does this every time I play. I also notice that if I play and then exit the game, it will log me out eventually even though I quit the game It works fine on all my other games, including SuperTux, TuxPuck, Pinball, Pingus, EnemyLines3, Starfighter, Airstrike, KETM, KBall, and KQ. This seems very odd. I am using the XFree86 driver on a SiS card on my Acer Aspire 3000:

I am running it on medium settings at 1024 x 768 (I can post exactly what they are if necessary) and am getting 30 - 45 FPS. The game itself runs fine, it occasionally "hiccups", but it is no big deal. Its the fact that it just suddenly terminates that is very annoying. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and help to resolve this.
Hmmm... that's really odd. Most games spit all sorts of stuff out.
Are you using Armagetron or Armagetron Advanced? According to the Armagetron website, the Advanced version is now the version that's being supported and worked on... the original is just there for posterity.
Otherwise, I really don't know what to do... sorry.
