I've been experimenting with the Linux client on a Fedora Core 5 box that has a GeForce FX5200 connected to an HDTV at 1366x768. Things work pretty well if SL is in a window, but when I try to switch to full screen I get a crash. Here's a snippet of the log:

Any ideas?

SDL Problem

It looks like an SDL problem, Google this line:

SDL: No video mode large enough for 1024x768

and you'll get tons of results that should lead you to a resolution.

Cheers
