How does GG build Torque on Linux?

Hi,
I'm curious as to how Garage Games actually builds the TGE SDK for Linux.
Specifically, what distribution are they using? What hardware platform, video card etc..
Tried Torque with a stock Ubuntu installation on a laptop (Compaq Evo N610c). It worked fine initially and even loaded the starter.fps game but that's when it freezes. The Evo N610c has an ATI Mobility Radeon (M700 I think).
An ldd on the Torque.bin didn't reveal it was missing any libraries.
Anybody have any luck with Torque on Linux?
I guess I could always rebuild everything and make sure Torque uses those libraries instead of what comes with Ubuntu.

Should be "To do this".

Typo in that section, under "Debugging Tools":Quote:Do to this, use the "ps" command to get the pid of torque (ps -aux | grep "torque"), then kill torque by sending SIGSEGV to the lowest pid reported by ps (e.g.: kill -11 8686).
Should be "To do this".

Hard lockups when a level is loaded typically indicate video card driver problems.
