I've had this problem with a bunch of things recently. Games like Battle
For Wesnoth which had run previously both in fullscreen and windowed
mode, suddenly would be forced to run in only one or the other
(naturally, the wrong one). As those other apps failed on the same
opcode, I expect that if this is a bug then it is would not be a bzflag
bug????? (or maybe two bugs come together, one thing failing and other
thing not coping with that failure!?!?....)

I'm on Xubuntu Hardy, with an Athlon XP and an ATI Radeon, with the
generic kernel and the proprietary video driver thing.

ANYWAY I have a workaround for it.
In the case of bzflag, I was able to start it with

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ bzflag -window

Once I have it running in a window I go to the options menu and test all
the available resolutions (remember to press "t" to check that it works,
not just enter) - it had been trying to load at 1600 x 1200 - which
should work fine... But anyway it runs as it should for me at 1440 x
900. Once you've started it in a window and changed the resolution, I
think that you should not see that message again.

Hope this helps...
(If it happens to wesnoth, try deleting ~/.wesnoth/preferences ... should be a 
text file below your home directory)
