Thanks. I installed driconf and toggled the setting. This seemed to have fixed the problem with launching the application, but there appears to be another problem keeping it from running.<br><br>Now, whenever I run the game with -windowed, the game appears with a black screen, my mouse pointer changes, and the command line starts outputting a bunch of errors and my computer freezes. I was able to reproduce this twice. <br>
<br>I can still get to a terminal via Ctrl-Alt-F1, but killing the process ID with kill didn't seem to do anything. I can't copy/paste the errors because my computer usually freezes right after it outputs them. Here is a picture I took with my phone: <a href="http://oi54.tinypic.com/25jgn6v.jpg">http://oi54.tinypic.com/25jgn6v.jpg</a><br>
<br>Do you think this is a problem with the game, my graphics card, or <a href="http://freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a>? Thanks for your assistance so far.<br><br>~Harry<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 7:27 PM, Lakota Morris <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lakota.james@gmail.com">lakota.james@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

it's this bug report: <a href="http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4825" target="_blank">http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4825</a><br>

One of the extensions uses patented stuff, so it's disabled by<br>
default. There's a tool you can download to reenable it. Look<br>
through the bug report or the mailing list, they have the fix in there<br>
somewhere. :)<br>
