I've downloaded the .deb package from
www.getdeb.net for Grid Wars 2 and installed it on my Kubuntu 8.10 system without a hitch. When I run the app from the icon, I get an item in the taskbar for a bit, and then it disappears. When I start it manually, I get the following.
Code:
dpich@dpich-M70:~$ gridwars

The other strange thing is that the X session gets a little screwy. it's like my monitor has a resolution of 1280x1024 with a desktop of 1680x1050 (i.e. I'm able to scroll around and only able to see a percentage of the full desktop).
Could someone please help me with this X issue?
