Linux Newbie Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 (edited) I use Mandrake10/KDE. Under the game menu, I have various programs- the one's I'm interested in are Chromium, Frozen Bubble and TuxRacer. I can use Frozen Bubble, but I can't run Chromium and TuxRacer. When I try to run Chromium, it appears on the panel, then disappears after a while. The same goes for Tuxracer. How can I fix this so I can play Chromium and Tuxracer?

a13x Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 (edited) You are probably lacking the drivers for your Video card. What do you use (nvidia or ati) ? If you use NVIDIA go to the FAQ section. There is an excellent guide there, step by step on how to install the NVIDIA driver. I had the same problem. After I installed it all my games worked fine but I had no boottheme (it is supposed to be a bug in the drivers). So you have to choose between the boottheme and the Linux games.

Artificial Intelligence Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Yep, it sounds like the video driver aren't installed. Had the same trouble untill I installed video driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
