Did you try a newer driver for your graphics card?
By the way, ATI sucks when it comes to linux drivers

how would i find that?
my "hardware drivers" is empty.
the ati site sucks. it's no help.
EDIT: i installed "xorg-driver-fglrx" in synaptic, and then when i tried it tried initializing the video mode or display mode or something and had a seg fault.
so i rebooted and now compiz has no window borders, but metacity works, and i get
Code:
hostname:~$ bloodfrontier
set home directory: /home/user/.bloodfrontier
loading enet..
loading game..
init: server (*:28795)

loading video mode..
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 135 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 17
Current serial number in output stream: 17
i have had this error before, so i reinstalled, and now i have it again.
when it had this error (not just in blood frontier) before, on, maybe 1/2 the games. this " Current serial number in output stream: 17"
i guess i'll uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx
where can i find a good driver? i have an ati radeon 9200
EDIT 2:i uninstalled it and compiz runs now, so i guess that's good.
now i get this:
