Penumbra Collection Won't Start - Unable to Initialize Display

**frigginacky** · 01-09-2010, 01:52 AM

I just installed the Penumbra Collection today, and none of the 3 games will start. Sad

Here is the error for Overture:

Penumbra: Overture exited unexpectedly, please check

/home/frigginacky/.frictionalgames/Penumbra/Overture/hpl.log

for any error messages

Also try running

ulimit -c unlimited

And re-running Penumbra and try and recreate the error

then submit the generated core file or stack trace

hpl.log

Code: (Select All)

Check serial!

 Setting video mode: 800 x 600 - 32 bpp

ERROR: Could not set display mode setting a lower one!

FATAL ERROR: Unable to initialize display!

Vital statistics:
Ubuntu 9.10 x64
ATI Radeon 5850 w/ Catalyst 9.12 proprietary drivers
ia32-libs installed (should take care of all 32-bit dependencies)
resolution normally @ 1920X1080 (I did try setting it to 800x600, same error)

Anyone know what's up or how to fix it? Huh

Driver reinstall seems to have fixed everything. *facepalm*
