Sorry to start a new topic, but I'm at the end of my tether trying to figure out what the hell is going on with FS2Open on Debian AMD64.
It consistently freezes me out of X, such that I cannot Ctrl-Alt-Delete out and have to hard-reset the machine. The keyboard freezes as well.
Which AMD64 distros work with FS2Open currently? I'm not about to change, but knowing which ones work might help in tracking down the source of the problem.
It's getting to the point where I'm seriously considering just installing FS2Open on a separate Windows box in my home network, and having done with it, but FS2 has a special and sentimental place for me on Linux, so I'd like to get it working properly on the OS if at all possible.
I have the retail mediaVPs in a separate folder, symlinked to the working FS2Open folder. I have other symlinks to the replacement 3.6.9zeta mediaVPs as well. I did this on my previous i386/x86 box, same distro, without problems at all, so I'm thinking it must have something to do with the specific layout of files under the AMD64 implementation on Debian...
