0.4.9-CVS video mode switch problem

[Norvell]

The CVS from 2003.10.11 17:41 UTC crashes when switching video modes. The game defaults to 800x600. When I go to preferences and try to switch to a different mode, I get the following output in the XTerm whence I ran BfW:

If it matters or helps, I've got XFree86-4.3 and Linux kernel-2.4.21. Let me know if you need more detatils.

If I let BfW stay in 800x600, start a campaign, then change the video mode to 1024x768 it seems to work.

Something else: When showing the story frames at the beginning of a campaign, in 800x600 mode, the bottom lines of text are chopped and a few rows of font pixels stay at the bottom of the screen even when the campaign starts. The Next button shows up, but not the Skip button.

I think I have fixed this problem in the latest version.

However, there are some problems with the game running in 800x600 that I didn't forsee, so I have made the minimum video mode 1024x768 again for the moment.
