Help! Each time I launch tuxracer, I got the following message:
Code:
 *** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize SDL: No available video device

and cannot play the game.

What's wrong actually? What should I do now? I got an ATI Radeon 9250 card.

But glxgears program works fine on my computer.

Bump this up maybe?
I have a friend who's experiencing the same thing. No one who's got a solution?

For me, the problem was that libsdl was not compiled with X and/or opengl support. I just recompiled it with "X" and "opengl" in USE flags and it works.
