Just rebooted -- same problem... :( I wish, Linux was available as a module on 
amd64 -- at least, I would not have to reboot to try every little patch.

You would not be breaking a law by downloading a game for testing purposes. 
This is also why I did not just post a link to it, but offered you to contact 
me privately. (Not to mention, the game's publisher -- Loki -- has gone out 
of business about 5 years ago.)

You could test on -current, just to see, if the problem is fixed there -- it 
is (far) easier for you to do that, than for me to upgrade my only system to 
(the half-baked) -current.

Of course. And I provided plenty of feedback. But you are asking me to rebuild 
the kernel and reboot (my main system) several times, which is a rather 
burdensome excercise. It is far easier you to download the program and try 
it.
