Ubuntu - Warzone suddenly won't start....

[Erve]

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on a Macbook Pro (through Parallels). I've been playing the game without any problems for six weeks or so now. Suddenly, yesterday, I went to load the game and nothing happened...... I haven't updated anything or changed any settings in Warzone or ubunutu, so I'm not sure what the problem could be....

When I click the Warzone icon in the dock, it 'pulsates' blue for a few seconds, then nothing.....

I'm failry new to Ubunutu and Warzone, so would love some help!


EDIT: I tired running Warzone in Terminal and got the following:

Code: Select all

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  131 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
  Value in failed request:  0x4b
  Serial number of failed request:  423
  Current serial number in output stream:  425

From a quick Google search, it seems to be a problem with OpenGL not starting properly....? If so, can someone tell me what I need to do??!?!

Thanks!

Using

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep direct

in Terminal, I get

Code: Select all

direct rendering: Yes

so it would seem that OpenGL is running fine on my system....

I don't get it, why don't you use the mac version instead of running a VM ?

Good question... It basically started off as a bit of an experiment. Now I am currently running off 2G networks which preclude me from downloading the Mac version. When I get home in a couple of weeks, I'll download the Mac version, but until then, I'm stuck with the Ubunutu version which I'd like to get working!

OK - all well. Turns out my screen resolution was too low to run the game....
