Problems started with kernel kernel-2.6.8-1.521; rebooting back to kernel 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 makes it possible to run this game again. (I noticed no difference between the SMP and non-SMP kernels on a HT-enabled P4) So, it must be the kernel. I haven't had time to file a bug report about it yet (which also means I shouldn't have had the time to play games anyway). But anyway, it isn't just you, it's the latest kernel that is causing this problem. David Jansen
