I think these are related... This happens in window maker, olwm, and when using no window manager at all, ala "startx lxdoom":
lxdoom window opens, the game plays, but it is displayed entirely in grey, like the red colour gun isn't working. The rest of the X desktop is uneffected. quake-x11 window opens, the demo starts, but the only display is a couple rows of multi-coloured but mostly grey (like in lxdoom) flickering dots. The rest of the x display is uneffected. XShipWars starts, the opening graphic is displayed, but in grey colours and vertical bars. The program then segmentation faults. lsdoom and quake-svga run just fine. I had Xshipwars running on a Debian install from last year, it worked fine until last month. I did a dselect, and installed any/all updated packages, but I don't usually run games on it. When I tried Xshipwars there last week, it failed too. Same simptom. Any ideas? Curt- -- The Road goes ever on and one, down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone and I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.
