<pre>On 32 bit Ubuntu 14.10 and proprietary nvidia drivers, ioquake enters an
endless restart loop on startup. Same build tested on Kubuntu 14.4 and Mint
Mate runs perfectly with Nouveau drivers runs perfectly.
On IRC, DevHC suggested a workaround: In code/sdl/sdl_input.c comment out
“vidRestartTime = Sys_Milliseconds( ) + 1000;”
This fixed my issue in Ubuntu. With DevHC's fix, ioquake starts with the
main window off center. Moving the mouse to the edge of the screen, I can
center it like it's part of a virtual desktop. After centering it locks into
place and I can play ioquake normally.
Experienced this bug on "ioq3 1.36_GIT_43c7f1e-2015-01-25" and "ioq3
1.36_GIT_cf7004f-2014-08-25 linux-x86"
GL_RENDERER: GeForce GTX 650/PCIe/SSE2
GL_VERSION: 4.4.0 NVIDIA 331.113</pre>
