hi,

have you already tried starting sauerbraten directly in windowed mode
and/or turning of shader effects? please try to launch saurbraten by
"sauerbraten -w640 -h480 -t -f". usually it should start in a small
window without any shader effects (see sauerbraten's manpage for details
about the parameters). if this helps out, we've at least found a
workaround.
and some obligatory questions: what kind of graphics card is in the
affected machine? which driver are you using for that card, and did you
install the driver from the packages shipped with debian and are they
really used in the xorg.conf configuration file?

cheers - fuddl
