afaik the game launches always windowed and then switches to fullscreen. No matter which OS.

On thing that came to my mind is, that you can try to use the OpenSource drivers for 3D. Cause the 9200 ist (one of the last ones) supportet.

Well, yes and no, actually the "Full screen mode" is also just a window that happens to ocupy all the screen, and doesent have a border... what i was thinking about is to launch it without all the extra stuff of windowmanagers etc. Some grahpics drivers behave differently when there is extra stuff around the grahpics window...

Im pretty sure that this is a ATI related problem... I would try to get hold of a NVIDIA card, just for testing and see what happens...

Hmm, i asume you have verified that youre actually using the correct OGL drivers for the card...

Btw have you been round to the ATI linux driver faq and ATI driver download sites ?,

It was described as a ATi Mobility. Thats why i always had a notebook in mind and suggested a dualboot. Of course a nVidia based board would be the fastest and most reliabable solution.

If it is a note book ( is it btw ?) then i agree that dualboot is the only option...
Notebook chipsets (both sound and graphics) are often stripped versions of their standalone board brothers. They advertize themself as somthing, but only implement a subset...

Yes its on a notebook. I think im gonna forget and play on my other computer (not notebook) under windows and with Nvidia

However, thanks for all what you did (and sorry for my bad english )

rajnika, you shouldn't give up so quickly

I'm currently installing my laptop with linux to check out whether it works or not - although it "only" has a Mobility Radeon 9000, it shouldn't be too much of a difference...

I'll post my results when I'm through

Ok dpi, if you wanna add me on MSN for speak about it no problem

Sadly I don't use MSN (and for obvious reasons I probably will never) - but I've got an update, I'm just about ready to launch SoR on my freshly installed laptop, so far the configuration utility started and the SoR-client is just checking the (copied) files for sanity...

I'll keep you posted how SoR looks when I am ready to launch

Edit: I successfully launched the client, as I posted before, but in character selection i had some problems with the mouse... So I'm installing a decent windowmanager now (did I mention that I hate twm? ;D)

Try to enable the HardwareMouse as described in the first article from gandma in this thread. That should help

Oh; I didn't come so far yet
The problem was that my cursor decided to jump out of the ryzom client window and couldn't be cheated going back again ... So basically due to SOME reason the window lost focus after sanity check and didn't regain it even when moving the mouse to the top bar of the window (which usually controls the window focus under twm)

At least that works now.... After I dumped twm in favor of xfce4

Edit: Just spent my first 2 minutes on Aeden Aquoteus - so it certainly does work =) But don't ask for performance... Might be better with a MR 9200 though...
