On Wednesday 06 November 2002 11:35 pm, Piero Piutti scribbled in crayon on a yellow legal pad: Xlib: extension XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD missing on display :0.0. OpenGL renderer relies on DXTC/S3TC support. The answer was no farther away than the README.Linux file found in your installation of UT2003. Q: I get the following text on my console when I run the game: Xlib: extension XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD missing on display :0.0. Is this a problem? A: No. This means you aren't using an X server from Xi Graphics. That message means we're looking for the X11 extension they use to change screen resolutions, and having a non-XiG X server, you don't have it. THIS IS NOT A UT2003 BUG. It's not a bug at all. Xlib prints that error, but we handle it gracefully. So if you are having a problem (I'm running UT2003 OK here on Mandrake 9.0), check out the UT2003 newsgroup. But it may be that your video card is not supported, since it must supply S3TC support.

Save off config files that are really important and can't be easily retyped (httpd config files samba e-mail aliases etc etc.) and then put them back after the re-install. I agree.
