Hi finally sell my Thinkpad T22 and bought an X31 one. Pretty neat but pretty extrem solution!

Now it's working. I assumme that it was an hardware bug.

Keep it this way IV!

2 solution in order to remove it: 1) If you install it in your home directory such as "/home/<yourLoginName>/blablabla/Uplink you just have to delete the Uplink directory OR 2) If you install it with root account you have to make a "sudo rm" of your Uplink directory (ie: in /usr/games...

I still not found a solution.

I think it is more an library issue than a software or hardware issue.

Can anyone there put his/her version of the lib*.so who launch fine the game?

The library is bigger than my other library file (libsdl1.2.0) located in my /usr/lib/ directory so I think that it is newer! But renamed my uplink libsdl in order to make the other (/usr/lib) working with no effect, and I tried to replace my original lib by the uplink lib wich is bigger in my /usr/...

To try to solve my problem I have to know one thing:

Is Uplink is full SDL or 50/50 OpenGL & SDL?

I just try to get thwe Windows version working with wine but with no sucess

It's a bit frustrating

I still look around for a solution.

EDIT: For information the famous game abuse-sdl plays nice on my desktop at 16bpp (I don't think my graphic card can handle 32bpp nor 24bpp)

I think it's normal. I have a S3 Savage IX-MV (8MB SGRAM, AGP 2x). The others SDL games are OK on my laptop (IBM Thinkpad T22).

Maybe the theme is corrupted/incomplete or not compatible with your current version of uplink?

Why the latest patch didn't apply at all? I mean can you explain the situation when you are trying to apply the patch?

I forgot to test with the '!graphics_screendepth' 32 parameter. This is what i can read when I try with this "32" value (same command line as 2 posts above): Debug.log (cut): [...] Initialising SDL...done Warning, difference in depth between the video mode requested 32 and the closest avai...

And I forget to mention that my cursor wich is white changing correctly to a black one in uplink (=the sdl window), so I just have a problem with graphics, no problem with sound and cursor.

I've just tested with 3 different parameters and every time in debug.log i can read "SDL is now opening a 1024x768 window in 16 depth ...done" Here's the results in debug.log of the 3 command lines. First with: jonas@jonas-laptop:~/Dokayop8/Jeux/uplink/lib$ ./uplink.bin.x86 -graphics_fulls...

I try to add '!graphics_screendepth' 32, '!graphics_screendepth' 16 and '!graphics_screendepth' -1 with no result. I found how to use the -1 value without error! The parameter must be between two quotes (the ' symbol). What's the full ./ of the command as it pertains to the debug file? Sorry but I d...

Yes I forgot to mention it, I try the safe mode too. But to be sure I try again a few minutes ago, it doesn't work, but thanks for your idea.

How can I pass the '-1' value for (ie. for graphics_screendepth)? Because as you can see in my debug.log, it is recognized like a option not like a value!

Hello, I've just received the 3 games christmas bundle limited edition. Very nice set of games and I very appreciated the Defcon's manual :) Then I install Uplink and I notice a problem: I have a black screen but sound when I launch Uplink. I am under Ubuntu 7.10, with a Thinkpad T22 (laptop) @900MH...
