    Hi guys,

    I've installed aquaria successfully on my g4 mac mini. I tried installing on my g5 powermac with 9600(256mb) radeon as well. The game boots fine, doesn't throw errors, shows the intro, gets to the part where the mouse turns into the round looking thing and I choose to start the game. On the mac mini this works fine (though a bit slow). On the powermac g5 it is just a black screen with the "AQUARIA V1.13" logo at the bottom left. There is no screen displayed, there is nothing to click on. The mouse is the round cursor but clicking around does nothing. Music is playing. Anyone else run into this problem?

    Most games in 3.2 using the r300 driver are having issues.

    This is a known problem.

    Same here on my G5 DP 2.3 with a radeon 9600 (running MorphOS 3.3)

    This is a indeed a problem with the R300 driver (or tinygl r300 support, i couldn't tell). Aquaria itself is fine with r100/r200 graphic cards (even on G5).

    Doesn't MorphOS since release 3.0 lack TinyGL support for R100?
