Binary package hint: sauerbraten

[Problem]
Running sauerbraten, displays a window with titlebar and edges, but only black content, on RV535 [Radeon X1650 Series].

[Discussion]
I've got a dual-head/non-compiz setup on an ATI RV535 X1650. On startup, sauerbraten switches the screen to clone mode at a low resolution (guessing something like 1024x768?) It displays in a window expanded to fill the screen, however the contents remain black. I can hear music playing after a short time, but no graphics. I switch to a virtual console and can kill the program (alt-tab didn't seem to work).

In killing sauerbraten, it restored the screen resolution but left it in clone mode. As well, it caused a weird problem where the mouse cursor disappears on the left half of the left monitor (right monitor is fine). After switching to vt1 and back, that problem went away. But I'm guessing both of these are separate issues from the black screen.
