I'm booting into gOS to run it. Not the ideal situation, but acceptable for now. It will all work itself out in the wash eventually.
Thanks for your help!

Re: Problem launching Eschalon
I've tried running the windows demo with Wine and it DOES start !
But the game is terribly slow, almost unplayable and it has also video issues.

Re: Problem launching Eschalon
To update....I installed the beta of Ubuntu 9.04 with the 2.6.28-11 kernel on a partition and the game works fine. It seems my only problem was with ubuntu 8:10 and the 2.6.27-11 kernel.
I suspect it had something to do with introducing mesa too quickly....but, in 3 weeks, the issue will be a mute one.
