I had some trouble with TuxKart (just compiled it), I fixed the problems by changing:

#ifndef WIN32
glutCreateWindow ( fake_argv[1] ) ;
#else
char game_mode_str[256];
sprintf( game_mode_str, "width=640 height=480 bpp=16" );
//glutGameModeString( game_mode_str );
glutEnterGameMode();
#endif

to just:

glutCreateWindow ( fake_argv[1] ) ;

and then it ran OK.  Doesn't seem to like fullscreen mode on this box for some reason.
