Bomb ô Bomb tip !

To run Bomb ô Bomb without being root

Note : even if the game can be run without being root, it must be installed being root.

You can use sudo (thanks to Dean Buhrmann for the info) :

1. If you don't have sudo (just type sudo to know) :
   1. Download it here : sudo-1.6.2p1.tgz (271 ko) or here for the latest release : http://www.courtesan.com/courtesan/products/sudo/
   2. Install it : untar the .tgz file (tar xvfz sudo-1.6.2p1.tgz), go to the sudo directory (cd sudo-1.6.2p1), configure it (./configure), compile it (make) and install it on your system (make install).
2. Modify the sudo configuration file : edit /etc/sudoers (with visudo, emacs or nedit for example) adding this line :

   tux ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/bombobomb

   after the lines

   # User privilege specification
   root ALL=(ALL) ALL

   replacing tux by your non root login (david for example).

3. Being your non root login (here tux), run the game using sudo /usr/local/bin/bombobomb.
   You can get the executable file here : bombobomb, copy it to your non login home directory for example, and run the game using ./bombobomb.

A problem with my video card - with the graphic library

Try to force VGA mode by modifying your config file :

Edit /etc/vga/libvga.config, find the following lines and remove the red # :

# Chipset type:
# # Use one of the following force chipset type.
# Autodetects if no chipset is specified.
# If a chipset driver gives trouble, try forcing VGA.
# chipset VGA
# Standard VGA
# chipset EGA
# EGA
# chipset ET3000
# Tseng ET3000
...

Doesn't work ? Maybe you should ask to the svgalib author www.svgalib.org
