SDL Parachute Deployed - I know this is very generic

[linuxjohnny]

Hi,

I am having some trouble. Every time I try to start openttd, it crashes.

# ./ttd
dbg: sdl: using driver 'x11'
dbg: sdl: using mode 1400x1050
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)
free(): invalid pointer 0x81a0000!
free(): invalid pointer 0x81d1358!
free(): invalid pointer 0x81d1330!
Segmentation fault


I think, that is a SDL problem, but otehr sdl games are working fine.

Is there an easy way to get mor information?

Thanks in advance,

Johnny

Try building openttd in debug mode (set DEBUG=1 in Makefile.Config)

What did you change since OpenTTD worked last time? I don't think it's a SDL bug, because most SDL apps just spit out "SDL Parachute Deployed" instead of something useful. Maybe try deleting your openttd.cfg file.

Well, I deleted the config.

The Problem is, when I switch to 1400x1050 , then ttd crashes. With 1280x1024 everything is ok.

I switched to the radeon xfree driver, before I had the binary ati drivers.

I will try to switch back to the binary ati driver, and see, if the Problem appears again.

PS: I played ttd on windows before, and moved my directory to linux then

The binary radeon driver doesn't work, even in lower resolutions. X crashes completely with signal 11. Logfile is available on request.

1600x1200 works, too, But 1400x1050 doesn't with the radeon driver.

1600x1200 works, too, But 1400x1050 doesn't with the radeon driver.

Resolutions need to be multiples of 8. 1050 is not a multiple of 8.

Thanks.

So I'm still alone with the bad ati driver, but that doesn't matter.

PS: Is it difficult to disable the notworking resolutions? Maybe that isn't too complicated.
