Fedora 8 crash cursor stuck.

[Urkle]

right now I'm including a custom open al driver with the game distribution (OpenALSoft's version) as it runs SIGNIFICANTLY better than the ones that have been distributed with linux distros (the reference implementation from creative).

You can try "moving" the included libopenal.so and see if it'll run using your system openal, but I'm not sure that it will since it's most likely the OLD openAL 1.0 implementation.

Also are you using pulse audio? I never had pulse enabled in Fedora 8,9,or 10 (It pissed me off :-D )
I actually finally did enable it on Fedora 11, although I'm still using a sound blaster live platnum card so games can still directly access the card regardless.

Is there any reason you are still using an old linux distro?
