I have FreeSpace 1 & 2 as installed by Ravage's installers.

I notice that when I run them, I get a noticable slowdown followed by a speed-up of what's happening on screen. It doesn't seem to be related to pure framerates either. It doesn't effect other games. The games seem to run closer to the orignally intended speed at the 2X time acceleration mode, excepting of course when the speed-up occurs and makes everyting move too fast for a couple of seconds.

Does anyone else have this and, what is the cure (if any)????

build fs1 and fs2 from cvs
those binaries are almost 6 months old!

I hate having to do builds from CVS...

Think about making a new installer, ravage???

it's not really all that hard ;-)

what do you use as your controller? keyboard? i need to hunt down a nice joystick that works with linux....any suggestions?

Controller?!?! I have a Logitech Marble optical trackball. It's great for those types of games.

Yeah, I know building from CVSs isn't all that hard,... It's just that I don't like to do it. Any compiling to me is a real pain in the arse.

oh...those would be nice...i should get one again...(used to have one, it died)

FS1 and FS2 are now updated to current CVS code.

If you want a gamepad, I recommend the Interact Hammerhead FX (modprobe interact), or the Interact AxisPad (if they work in Linux, and they should, as the author of interact.o said they should).

If you want and actual JOYSTICK, then I don't know. I hate them.

Sweet. I'll download it tommorow...

Thanks, ravage.
