I've installed it just fine. But when I go to run it, the splash screen and sound comes up fine, and I can even access the menu. But after about 30-40 seconds I get this error:

Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)
$
/usr/games/../share/games/heretic/musserver: error reading mesg. pipe

Any ideas on what to do to fix? I have an nVidia chipset for my video card, but I'm using the stock driver (been working fine). Maybe switch to nVidia's own driver? Compile from source?

I do have the xHeretic installed and working, but I think I would prefer the glHeretic.

Thanks Much!

well if it uses opengl then nvidias own driver is a must if you want decent performance

Of course that error message may have absolutely nothing to do with your graphics card drivers.

Yeah I'm kinda thinking that too. I tried to compile the program, but got some errors. I'll have to figure them out later.

Well, yeah, you need 3D drivers, not the default 2D-only drivers. The "GL" part should have tipped you off about that.

Yeah your right,

I was thinking that the stock drivers had the support. Some times it's the really simple parts I don't get .

don't worry about it. that's a common mistake for noobies and even some oldies.
