[braid] Trouble Starting Braid on Debian Lenny

[Harry P]

I tried that, and although it did make the game considerably faster, the
screen was of a resolution where some essential text was unreadable and I
know there is a bigger problem besides that. The textures are definitely not
being the way they are supposed to. It's probably a problem with DRI as
"linux" suggested on my bug report. I'll try contacting others but I think
this could be fixed in the game as well.
