eduke32 Won't run – Display Issues

[schafur]

I can’t get the formatting right here…

I have not been able to successfully get Duke Nukem 3D to run (Doom will also not run). It looks like this is due to some sort of display issue, but I’m not sure what’s causing it.

Here’s the output after running the script from ES – the screen turns black while this is happening:

And then it just spits me back to the ES ports menu. Anyone have any idea whats going on? I’ve done a handful of searching and can’t seem to find any solutions. Everything is default.

but I did try the wiki suggestion of replacing /usr/share/games/eduke32/DUKE3D.grp with a full version of the file
