--- Comment #6 from James Jurack jorenko+wine@gmail.com 2007-12-08 20:03:06 --- GeForce 8600GTS nvidia binary driver (gusty package nvidia-glx-new 100.14.19+2.6.22.4-4.10)
I'm not setting the dxmode command-line option on launch. The video options dialog in the game reports hardware level 8.1 and software level 9.0.
I'm on 0.9.50 now, but this has been occurring as long as I've had the game, since 0.9.48.
One thing I haven't tried yet is disabling compiz while playing. I'll try that and report back.
