RE: Crash (?) after 2-3 seconds after game start.

Quick tip, if this happens:
Try logging into your system remotely (ie: over SSH, or [only if you *must*] telnet).
In my experience, even if Linux *appears* locked up, everything else is still working.
Unfortunately, if this option is not available to you (no local network, therefore no alternative machine to log in *from*), then your only real option is the Magic SysRq key combos.
I believe Ubuntu now disables these by default, and with good reason. They're *very* easy to misuse.
