few questions about install, launch and X problems

Post by Genesis »

At first, Eschalon really is a great game, thanks :)

While playing the demo, and since yesterday the full version, I stumbled upon some things, I thought are worth mentioning:

1. usually I do not keep any software installed within my home directory .. so i moved the game to /opt/eschalon. The game tries to write the config file eschalon.cfg within the directory it is located in.
Isn't it possible to keep the eschalon.cfg together with the savegames within .eschalon_book_1 in the users home directory?

2. is it possible to launch eschalon without having to push start in the launch menu, a command line option or so, something like --launch ?

3. trying to start eschalon on my second screen (separate X Server, second Screen connected to the graphics card, nvidia) I get the following error. Would be great if this could be resolved. if further information is required, I'd be happy to help. (and yes in general opengl works on this screen too)

this is the error I receive:
genesis@coyote /opt/eschalon_book_1 $ ./eschalon_book_1
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 78 (X_CreateColormap)
Serial number of failed request: 19
Current serial number in output stream: 21

Thanks for reading :)
