Works now! Not sure what changed, but trying it a second time in windowed mode seemed to work. It seems that windowed mode is necessary for tiling window managers, or at least ratpoison.

Edit: solved, I got it working. Not sure how to mark the thread as solved. Hello! I just installed the game through the Debian Sid repositories, which say it's version 0.21-2. When I try running 0ad or pyrogenesis, it prints some normal looking output: Cache: 400 (total: 2614) MiB TIMER| InitVfs: 9.26584 ms TIMER| CONFIG_Init: 9.92814 ms Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server request channel jack server is not running or cannot be started JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for 4294967295, skipping unlock JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for 4294967295, skipping unlock Sound: AlcInit success, using OpenAL Soft TIMER| shutdown ConfigDB: 2.606 us TIMER| resource modules: 16.5035 ms TIMER TOTALS (9 clients) ----------------------------------------------------- tc_png_decode: 0 c (0x) tc_pool_alloc: 102.093 kc (2x) tc_dds_transform: 0 c (0x) tc_transform: 0 c (0x) tc_plain_transform: 0 c (0x) tc_ShaderValidation: 0 c (0x) tc_ShaderGLSLLink: 0 c (0x) tc_ShaderGLSLCompile: 0 c (0x) xml_validation: 0 c (0x) ----------------------------------------------------- TIMER| shutdown misc: 1.01874 ms Cache: 400 (total: 2614) MiB TIMER| InitVfs: 822.061 ms TIMER| CONFIG_Init: 9.45509 ms Sound: AlcInit success, using OpenAL Soft and in top I see pyrogenesis taking up about 5% of the CPU. The screen flickers for a moment, but nothing is displayed. If I switch to an empty workspace I see a black screen instead of my usual background. I'm using ratpoison as my window manager, so that's probably why it's not popping up in the right place, but it doesn't explain why I just get a black screen. My CPU is a dual core running at 1.3 ghz, and my graphics chip is a Radeon HD 6290 with 384 MB of vram according to radeontop. My resolution is set to 1366x768. I'm using the xserver-xorg-video-radeon drivers. Edit: I should also mention that firmware-linux-nonfree, libgl1-mesa-dri, xserver-xorg-video-ati, are installed, and that other games seem to be working ok. Pioneer runs fine, and it has a fair amount of fancy 3d stuff. So my graphics card/drivers seem to be in working order. Another edit: Opening in windowed mode gets me a little bit further. Music now plays, and there's a bit more ouput in the terminal: TIMER| RunHardwareDetection: 134.349 ms TIMER| write_sys_info: 18.6395 ms TIMER| InitRenderer: 19.8503 ms TIMER| ps_console: 21.3744 ms TIMER| ps_lang_hotkeys: 9.81391 ms TIMER| common/modern/setup.xml: 956.032 us TIMER| common/modern/styles.xml: 1.00051 ms TIMER| common/modern/sprites.xml: 16.3769 ms TIMER| common/setup.xml: 3.56307 ms TIMER| common/sprites.xml: 5.25649 ms TIMER| common/styles.xml: 984.99 us TIMER| common/init.xml: 6.28276 ms TIMER| pregame/backgrounds/: 1.49133 ms TIMER| pregame/sprites.xml: 2.2964 ms TIMER| pregame/styles.xml: 943.769 us TIMER| pregame/mainmenu.xml: 54.2995 ms TIMER| common/global.xml: 3.87147 ms Any thoughts?
