thanks
I can reproduce this on my Eee 901 (Intel GMA 950 graphics). The
ssgInit failure is a red herring, the real problem is that
SDL_SetVideoMode fails. SuperTuxKart requests a 24-bit OpenGL context,
which doesn't work when running X in 16-bit. It also requests a 24-bit
depth buffer which is apparently not supported by the GMA 950 hardware.
I've commited the attached patch to svn.
