Haven't seen that error message before; not sure if I can help you solve the problem. If you answer the following questions, you'll have a better chance of getting help:
  • Which distribution are you using? Ubuntu?
  • Are you using the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version of the distribution?
  • How exactly did you install the game?

- ubuntu 8.10

- 64 i believe

- in terminal:
xhost +
su (enter root pw)
sh ./et-linux-2.60..etc..
and followed the normal menu.

Ah. The tutorial here on CF assumes that you're installing the game on a 32-bit version of Ubuntu. To make ET work on a 64-bit version, you need to install some additional libraries. Read this tutorial: http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/guides:64bit:et_wolfenstein

np :)

I don't mind the acceleration, so I haven't looked into how you turn it off. According to the comments that were made to this forum thread, which Klapp wrote, it seems this is how you do it:
  • Put in_dgamouse 2 in your ET config
  • Issue the command xset m 1 1 in the terminal
