rocketman:
Thank you for a great game! I've always been a fan of X-Com type games.

I checked out the latest version directly from the trunk and compiled it and the maps as stated in the users guide.

When I attempt to run ufo I get:

Darkpriest667:
you need to change your display settings to 16 bpp graphics..

sorry this is linux i may be incorrect

rocketman:
Given the comments from the moderators on this thread:

http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=2726.0

32 bpp is the correct setting.

16 bpp was used in a previous version which might be what you were thinking of.

rocketman:
I have the latest version of the Debian testing branch.

Does anyone have any ideas regarding why I keep on getting the error above?

thanks!

rocketman:
You know I would really love to debug this problem and actually play this game.

Some feedback might help me narrow down what might be the issue.
