The easy fix is to edit the following lines in the ~/.etracer/options file:
# fullscreen
#
# If true then the game will run in full-screen mode.
#
set fullscreen false

# x_resolution
#
# The horizontal size of the Tux Racer window
#
set x_resolution 1024

# y_resolution
#
# The vertical size of the Tux Racer window
#
set y_resolution 768

-h is currently a switch, but --help isn't.  I'll try to fix that.

Bug description:
When I launch etracer I only get a message from my monitor saying "video mode not supported", I tried etracer --help to see if there was an option to set windowed mode, but that just launched the game too. Also no man page was installed that could help, nor did I find any docs about this on the website. So as a result there is no way I can run the game at all it seems.

I'm using (or rather trying to use) etracer 0.4 on Gentoo Linux (x86_64). My TFT monitor's native resolution is 1400x1050. It does (obviously) not handle whatever it is etracer is trying to set.
