[M-dev]linux experience

[Jason Y. <ja...@ja...>]

I compiled from the CVS today 6/28.  If anyone wants the RPM I posted it
here http://www.jamark.com/alephone/alephone-20030628-1.i386.rpm.  I'll
post updated RPMS every once in awhile in
http://www.jamark.com/alephone/.

I tried networking it works great especially with the new Mystic
coding.  The only major problem I've had is with OpenGL.  If I turn on
OpenGL, in the Preferences dialog, and then start a new game I get this
weird rainbow effect and a really slow framerate.  Once I exit the game
and try to start it back up.  I'll get a black screen for about half a
second and then I get this error.

GL_VENDOR: VA Linux Systems, Inc.
GL_RENDERER: Mesa GLX Indirect
GL_VERSION: 1.2 Mesa 3.4.2
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  89 (X_StoreColors)
  Value in failed request:  0xffffffff
  Serial number of failed request:  60
  Current serial number in output stream:  61

Any one has any ideas about this, if not I'll compile alephone with the
'-g' option set and try to debug the problem.

There is also a problem with sound, while running alephone as a non-root
user.  The sound becomes delayed by about a second.  Running alephone as
root there isn't a sound delay.  I'm guessing this is a problem with my
sound daemon or a permission problem.
