Darwinia does not exit cleanly
Meaning you exit darwinia however your resolution does not return to normal and it does not release your mouse, a fix for this is to run any SDL app that grabs the mouse and then exit that. Please stop making duplicate posts about this bug. Running windowed solves this issue.

Darwinia exits with a free() error
Known bug.

Darwinia does not request focus from the WM when windowed
When running a window manager that does not automaticly give focus to a newly opened window darwinia will require you to click on it to give it focus rather then giving itself focus.

Crashes with ATI DRI Drivers
This is mainly an issue with the DRI drivers themselves, you might have slightly better luck with ATI's binary drivers however ATI does not have the best track record for working well with linux games.

sysinfo with two devices only reports the first one
Perhaps it should prompt the user to chose one or include information for both as it really doesnt use it for any other purpose than accounting.

Beta does not run without lspci
This is a known issue however it will only be a problem during the beta testing as the actual game will not be using the same sysinfo functionality.

Repeated Resolutions in options
Basicly in the option dropdown for changing your resolution it has repeats for various resolutions which are effectively useless as each one is the same.[/b]

The sysinfo bug could be said to be for sound cards too, I have 2 and it only selects the first one.

I still maintain that it shouldn't use lspci at all. And also, maybe you should include the subwindow bug for new testers who may have not come across it yet.

The subwindow bug is not Linux specific hence not here, also the issues with lspci are null because they will not be in the actual demo/game.

Is it already a known bug that you can't get rid of the refresh rate menu if you left it open and clicked the windowed mode button? It doesn't close it for you.. that should be a quick fix sorta thing..

Yes. It's registered in windows-betatesting too as a bug.
