Got this from the Humble Bundle, downloaded the deb package, and installed it onto Kubuntu 32bit 11.10. When I attempt to run it, I see a flicker of the "Choose Thy Configuration Wisely" opening and closing. Attached are the console output (dredout.txt), and the strace results (dredmor.txt).
How large should the config screen be? The outline of the window I am getting before it crashes seems to be small enough to fit on my screen. I can clearly see space around the top, bottom, and both sides of the window. Also, on an issue like that, shouldn't they have done something as simple as error trapping?
Plugged in my monitor at work, which stretches my desktop resolution to 1280x1600, and it didn't segfault then, however it would only give me an option for 1024x1600 resolution, despite fullscreen being unchecked. When I had it output to the monitor only (1280x1024), it loaded and gave me only the option of 1280x1024. It is just when I have only the laptop at it's native 1024x576 resolution that it segfaults. Of note, the config screen easily fits into my laptop's main display, with tons of space to spare.
The minimum resolution for Dredmor is 1024 x 600 or 1024 x 768. 1024 x 576... does not quite cut it. That said, we should be failing more gracefully than just crashing.
Hellmark, to get all of your available resolutions to show in the choose thy config, you need proper modes defined in your X configuration. This is an SDL issue. Please see http://community.gaslampgames.com/threads/1-0-6-linux-resolution-problems.1181/
