I also have this issue on first startup.  Changing the configuration
file to use a higher resolution solved the problem, and I was able to
choose a more suitable resolution from in-game.

Bug description:
Hi I just installed etracer Version: 0.4-0ubuntu1~ppa2

After I start the game, the screen goes black and I get this monitor message:

OUT OF RANGE
81.3 kHz 65Hz

If I edit ~/.etracer/options and change to resolution to above 800x600 (example) the game works

set x_resolution 1024
set y_resolution 768
