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!

My graphic card is an Intel 945 running Ubuntu 8.10 (2.6.27 kernel), the crash is absolutely the same as I've said in this post http://basiliskgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2080&start=0.

Here's my output:
Code:
USER@USER-laptop:~$ sudo lshw -C display

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.

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.
