Title: ufo ai window is flickering
Post by: gtludwig on January 04, 2010, 01:31:04 pm

Hey all,

After a long time I'm on Linux again and have a little spare play time. Since I always loved the x-com games I decided to give another shot at this game.

I have downloaded ufoai-2.2.x from SVN and have built it via

Code: [Select]

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make lang
$ make maps
$ cd base
$ ./archives.sh
$ cd ..
$ su
# make install

It is installed and runs, but the video is flickering. I imagine it might be related to a "poor" installation of video drivers. This box is running Slackware64-current and has ATi video. The video drivers were (amazingly!) installed without any kernel tweaking. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

which drivers did you install? the open source or the original by ati? the open source drivers are not yet working for ufoai with all cards.

I'm using original ATi:
ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run

Are you using Compiz? Is Compiz is running while you play the game?
