From the backtrace it appears the game is trying to use the XRANDR api to reset the screen, but this is not supported by the -nvidia video driver (yet).

@Oliver, you didn't specify whether you're using -fglrx or -ati, however I *think* karmic's -fglrx did not have randr support, so could be it's the same issue. Regardless, you should re-test against natty alpha-3 and file a *new* bug (via the command 'ubuntu-bug xorg') if the crash still occurs (attaching a full backtrace would be a huge help if you know how to do that.)

@Alberto, hey thanks for posting a patch! I took a look and reviewed the source code, and I *think* that may just be a workaround for that particular case. However it's not clear what this rop parameter is used for. In any case, your patch definitely provides a strong hint for the developers. I don't know whether -openchrome on whatever Ubuntu version you're using supports this XRANDR api call, but I would suggest doing the same as Oliver - test natty and file a new bug (via the command 'ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-openchrome') if it still occurs, and post a full backtrace if you know how.

From this point on, this bug report will focus only on the -nvidia issue. I'll update the title.
