>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.
