Hi there!

First, its great to see that Parsec (openparsec!) is still _not_ dead.
I've been a fan of parsec since the early days and after some years of
complete silence I could not belive there is some active development
going on! Good job, guys! Thats awesome!

I've tried to get the source running on my machine (Mint Linux (Ubuntu),
64 bit, NVidia) and with the hints in the mail from Christian I get the
source compiled. (I make a linux64 ruleset and clean up the configure
script a little bit, see attachment)

After some googling I found the asset files (pscdata*.dat) on some
forgotten FTP server, but the game won't start :( I get this message:

- ---
Using the OpenGL subsystem as rendering device.
Using XFree86-VidModeExtension 2.2.
Not a single suitable video mode could be initialized.
Sorry, but PARSEC is not able to run under these circumstances.

Parsec error exit: Unable to set video mode.
Exiting PARSEC...
- ---

I want to help but I'm not an expert in C++, so I can just do some minor
stuff on the codebase like fixing compier warnings or make some small
refactorings. But I can help with cleaning up the build process, writing
scripts, documentation, pollish up the website or keep the bug tracker
clean and organized. Just point me in the right direction :)
