I just installed a brand new NVidia GTS 250 (1GB GDDR3 = Sweet) so I don't know how I can change things to help. That being said, the new card may be &^$%ing good but it's also &*%^ing crashing my system. I lost Vista entirely (will need reinstall) and I'm hesitant to use it on Linux because I wa

On Jaunty, StarCraft caused a logout once but only after I exited the program. However, on following plays the game played flawlessly. Oh, and the game I used in my last post (the one that wouldn't start) was The Ship which uses the Source engine. Can't think of another game that will fit on 1.5

Well, it's not forcing a logout on Karmic. The game is refusing to start. The partition I made for OS testing isn't large enough for Half-Life 2 and I'm not sure if other games will cause the same crash. Lemme install StarCraft or something to my Jaunty partition and let me get back to you. If

@goto I had a problem like that a while back in either Ibex or Hardy but it was WINE back then and not the hardware drivers. I guess it's different this time. -- [g45] Playing Half-Life 2 in WINE causes forces a logout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335905 You received this bug notification be

Just did some more looking around on my graphics chipset. I saw these two mentioned: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD (Intel® GMA X4500HD) Intel® G45 Express Chipset I have no idea on the difference between the two. Anyway here's Intel's info page on it, so maybe you can figure it out:

It still exists with Alpha 6 and I have yet to try the beta. My graphics chipset is Intel GMA X4500HD so it may very well be my driver and it is a very new system so the drivers probably aren't up to speed with my hardware. I've read on the Beta release page (http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/

HL2 needs to be compatible with WINE, not Ubuntu. It's one of the Ubuntu Team's duties to make WINE compatible with Ubuntu. I was able to get HL2 working under WINE in Intrepid but Intrepid doesn't work on my new machine. Jaunty does work on my new machine but it is also in development so bugs e
