The scary thing is that, except for the framebuffer effect where the
water ripples around you, Aquaria is about the most basic use of OpenGL
you will ever see. It's a little alarming to me that it's causing so
many problems.
I likely won't delay a release for these sort of bugs. The best way to
get better Linux GL drivers is to have public releases of games that
break them. It proves to be a good test case that gets the driver fixes
done faster.
