Did you send one yet? Sorry, indeed I forgot the attachment sorry. Here are two of them. Please try the "options-all-dis" first (by placing it as options in ~/.ppracer). If that works, pleace try the "options-no-res-det". After talking with an other one, who seems to have a similar problem (at least he gets the same "SDL parachute" error message), I think it might be a problem with the automatic detection of the resolution (which is disabled in this second options file, while the rest [like sound] is still enabled). Yours sincerely, Alexander
