Trying to use version 0.91 and it close on start up, throwing this:

$ lxdream
lxdream: could not connect to socket
lxdream: No such file or directory
11:28:47 00000000 WARN Could not initialize LIRC. LIRC hotkeys will be disabled.

Hi warkbt,

Any chance you can run it through gdb, and post the backtrace (bt) at the point where it crashes?

Thanks,
Nathan

Hrm. Ok that was unexpected. It's also (now that I think about it further) a bit of an odd place for it to be crashing really. Are you able to run other OpenGL applications? (ie glxgears or other games?)

Couple of things I can think of to try -
1. update to the 173.14.20 drivers (I don't think much has changed, but can always try)
2. If you've got a CPU without SSE support, this thread may be useful:

Cheers,
Nathan

I use with no problem:
-compiz (not a game)
-epsxe (FF7, FF8, Xenogears, Azure dreams, Vagrant story, Brigandine GE)
-gens (x-men clone wars)
-zsnes (chrono trigger)
-glest
-warzone2100
-scorched3d
-tremoulous
-wine (nullDC-->Record of lodoss war, Starcraft, Diablo 2)

About suggestions:
1) I will try it.
2) I tried it, but even if I disable the SSE/.. it doesn't work.
