Bugzilla Bug 62877

Upon typing spacetripper-demo at the prompt to launch the game the first time I
get the following output and it won't run:

Welcome to Space Tripper!
Creating /home/ryasko/.spacetripperdemo...cp: cannot stat `XYZZY/run': No such

When trying to run it again it get this:

Welcome to Space Tripper!

I'm on it... as soon as I find some time.

Found that things get installed correctly in the home directory if I change
line #11 of /opt/spacetripper-demo/spacetripperdemo to the following:
SPACETRIPPER_DIR='/opt/spacetripper-demo'
instead of SPACETRIPPER_DIR='XYZZY'

But then I get the below error after the display flashes:

Welcome to Space Tripper!
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  135 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
  Value in failed request:  0xb6
  Serial number of failed request:  102
  Current serial number in output stream:  104

With a change of that one line in /opt/spacetripper-demo/spacetripperdemo, from
my prior post, and info from the support pages of www.pompomgames.com I was
able to get the game to run.

The additional change was in /home/myuser/.spacetripperdemo/run/config.cfg

I changed render_resolution 1.000000 to render_resolution 4.000000

Works just fine now.

Well, I fixed the sed problem.

The resolution issue appears to be with your local client, as I have no problems with the game without making that change.  Do you have all of the standard video modes defined in your X config file?

I have all the resolutions in my xorg.conf, but just recently found out that my
video drivers were corrupted, and had to re-merge them. That may have been the
resolution problem.

Well.... I'm marking this one FIXED then...
