When I run trackballs, the first image looks good for less than 1 second, then the video resolution seems bad and it stays in demo mode. I have sound, but no click nor keyboard action works, unless ESC that close the application. The mouse arrow is replaced by a 1 inch white square I can move. Clickable arrays, or what I suppose to be as so, are replaced by yellow 1 inch squares. 3 on the left and 3 on the right. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just run the application. Actual Results: cf Description. Expected Results: A working game. It seems to work for others since it is marked stable : http://packages.gentoo.org/package/games-action/trackballs?full_cat # emerge -av games-action/trackballs These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Works well now. I don't know why..... some updates. It is a wonderfull game. I don't know why it is planned to be removed from portage : "- games-action/trackballs-1.1.4::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Michael Sterrett <mr_bones_@gentoo.org> (31 Jan 2013) # Old, dead upstream and require guile[deprecated] # Masked for removal on 20130302" Please, this game development is finished, but that does not mean it is a bad thing. On the contrary, it is very good to have available a great library of finished games - and this one is tremendous. Please, keep it in portage ! BTW, guile-1.8.8-r1 is still in portage and not masked. So, I don't see any issue.
