I downloaded Sauerbraten and when I start ./sauerbraten_unix it crashes after a few seconds (it loads some stuff and then crash before I can be in the menu).
I'm using Feisty 7.04 aiglx, ATI x800pro open source drivers.

last lines of my log:

*********************************WARN_ONCE*********************************

Install the fglrx drivers from ATI, as bad as they are, the open source ATI drivers are absolutely awful by comparison (and very buggy, apparently).

If I may plug myself a little, I wrote a nice script to install the driver for you (*buntu Feisty only, not a problem in your case). You can get it here:

Not sure how well that card is supported. It's a somewhat recent Radeon, so I'd say it is supported. No guarantees, though.

Thanks for your replies guys. I can't use the fglrx drivers because I'm using Compiz Fusion as window manager (which I switch off during play when it causes troubles though). Too bad I can't use fglry on the fly ^^
Gonna take a further look at your suggestions later on. Thx again.

tried it with the restricted drivers and it works. But I need the OS drivers for my compiz fusion :o/
Dont want to boot each time I want to play this game.

You could try setting up XGL...

Ugh. Horrible process.
Not to mention you can't do it with all cards. You can't with mine (Radeon X1600).

Yeah, there are reasons I've not done it myself... However it should more or less work on an x800.

I tried already to set up compiz Fusion with XGL, I gave it up after around 15h of testing... Either Sauerbraten works under AIGLX with my x800 or I have to give it up :o(

If you don't mind editing the source code, there is a simple thing you can do that will make it work, but it may be really slow even still.

Go to src/engine/rendergl.cpp at line 150.

You will see a line: hasVBO = true;

Change this to:
hasVBO = false;

Note that doing this will cause some slowdown if you switch back to the fglrx drivers, so maybe keep around two sets of bins just in case.

as I ran it into XGL I changed all details and effects to minimum and then rebooted under fglrx. Unfortunately I have an other error message now :oS

./sauerbraten_unix

init: sdl
init: enet
init: video: mode
Unable to create OpenGL screen: Couldn't find matching GLX visual


I gonna go back to XGL and set the values back and then see if I can reiterate the error message I got at the beginning, then try the suggestion by eihrul.

ok now I have set up all the settings to default and could reiterate the error message I got at the beginning. If I change an entry into that c++ code (rendergl.cpp) I'd have to recompile, and to be honest, I am quite a noob in coding and in this case in compiling. I did it only for small codes with a "how-to" :(

All you need to do to compile, provided you have all the necessary libraries/headers installed, is go into src/ and type: make install
