Black screen, everything else seems fine

Update:

I think I have the game working. I'm new to Linux, so I doubt I could offer much in the way of support. To clarify my post above, I do not have an Nvidia video card. I in fact have have an integrated Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset.

I first tackled this game in Fedora 64bit. Despite numerous attempts, I could never move beyond the opening movie sequence.

After about a week, I decided to abandon Fedora for Ubuntu (again, I'm new to Linux so making a complete OS switch wasn't a big deal). I decided to install 32bit Ubuntu, in hopes I would avoid the 32bit library issues which can complicate getting the game running. I did get past a black screen following the introduction video. My graphics consisted of salt/pepper snow.

After spending some time in Ubuntu I thought I would go ahead and install the 64bit version. Since I've been fairly compulsive in getting Overture running, I went ahead and installed it. To my surprise, I now have graphics!

I wanted to post b/c it is my understanding the Intel chipsets aren't supported. So if there is any information I can provide that might be helpful, let me know.

After a couple weeks, I'm looking forward to playing this!
