            Bug ID: 6360
           Summary: Video stuck in restart loop on startup
           Product: ioquake3
           Version: GIT MASTER
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Video
          Assignee: zachary at ioquake.org
          Reporter: lukebenes at hotmail.com
        QA Contact: quake3-bugzilla at icculus.org

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
