Dear Sirs,
I’m a Mandrake 8.0 Linux KDE 2.1.1 user and my problem is
the following:
when I try to run some openGL games such as tuxracer,
chromium or gltron,
i receive the message
"Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)"
even though the user is root.
To overcome the problem I found the following successful
steps:
- to restart the session from console level;
- login with root
- to run startx
In this case and ONLY in this one all is OK!
If I try the same procedure but with a different user I
get the
error message above.
does it exist a way to run the games application by using
a regular user ?
My system is (“uname -a” output)
