No video mode large enough

This should be fixable. Try editing the ~/.etracer/options file, and change the x_resolution and y_resolution options to 800 and 480. If that doesn't help, I may be able to add that configuration to the code.

It worked with this configuration. However I didn't could launch the real game to test because the snow in the menu makes my EeePC very slow, even in 1- bits mode.
I don't know with this is so slow because this PC is able to run Tremulous perfectly whereas simple snow makes it slow...

Thank you.

(Sorry, replace “1- bits mode” by “16-bits mode” and “I don't know with” by “I don't know why”).

You can disable menu snow in the same config file. By the way, doesn't the eeePC come with planet penguin racer? How does it run?

Hello,

Without falling snow in the menu, the game starts correctly. But E.T.Racer runs /almost/ nice in game ;p ! Even after the deactivation of all non-needed options, and the video depth set to 16 bits, I have an average FPS of... 4.5 ^^" .

If you want, I'll test the older versions (Tux Racer?) in order to verify if newer versions needs better configuration (I think so because Nexuiz, Tremulous and other 3D games runs correctly - but Flash games doesn't.

By the way, EeePC with the default Xandros distribution (I'm on eeeXubuntu) comes with Planet Penguin racer, yes. I don't want to reinstall Xandros, so I'll ask to a friend of mine for testing it.

You can contact me by email or Jabber if you want me to help you to make EeePC more supported.

That would be great, we'd like to eventually replace PlanetPenguin Racer on the eeePC, so being compatible would help.

It seems that the version of Xandros which has been released doesn't come with PlanetPenguin Racer...
“Nope, all that I can play is Mr Potato and Solitaire x)”

If you install ppracer per synaptic (xandros-repo) it comes automaticly in the menu games.
If you change the option file you can get about 14fps, what means it is playable (with lower quality (option-file)). Extremetuxracer isn't playable at all.

Dell Mini netbooks ship with ppracer, and they use the attached patch. Perhaps a similar patch could be applied directly? Maybe change 576 default to 480 to support tinier devices like the eeePC.

So I confirm this bug, because the fix says that it is a reproduceable bug.
