Hello,

thanks for your additional information but unfortunately I don't know
how to interpret your strace output. I find it still unlikely that
extremetuxracer is the root cause because the game (or the packaging)
has not changed in months. It is rather related to your video card
driver, the X server, SDL or window manager.

What happens if you try to play other games like caveexpress, freeorion
or redeclipse? Do you experience the same behavior or is extremetuxracer
the only affected game?

Regards,

Markus
