If you install ppracer per synaptic (xandros-repo) it comes automaticly in the menu games.
If you change the option file you can get about 14fps, what means it is playable (with lower quality (option-file)). Extremetuxracer isn't playable at all.

Bug description:
Hello,

I'm trying to run Extreme Tux Racer on my little Asus EeePC 701, which has a resolution of 800×480. I get nothing graphically, and this error message if I try to run it from the terminal:

*** etracer error: Couldn't initialize video: No video mode large enough for 800x600 (Success)
[END]

Should I uninstall it or can you make this game compatible on little resolutions, for making me and my friends happy?

Thank you.
