Sadly Dungeon Defenders doesn't work for me - has a segmentation fault compiling shaders at startup.

I wish the Humble folks would also hold the Linux ports to higher standards. For example many of the games capture all keyboard input. If you press the volume keys they swallow those which means you can't change your volume. Alt-Tab is also swallowed so you can't even get out of the game without manually exiting it.

It's sort of sad that this is a large part of the reason that I prefer to use WINE for a lot of games.

Doesn't running as sudo solve this issue ?

While that may be the case, no game should require root privs to run.

After dealing with the silly gnome-screensaver-command issue, I've got Dungeon Defenders to work but I can't get it to work properly in fullscreen and there are some serious focus issues, at least under XFCE. It looks pretty though. I finally bit the bullet and did something I said I'd never do, I reinstalled Catalyst. It still annoys me just like it used to but I'm part way through devising a quick and easy way to switch between the two on Gentoo, without having to stick to the old xorg-server when using the open driver. I've also created an ebuild for the game. Now that Christmas day (which is my daughter's birthday!) is over, I might actually get a chance to play it.

I did that myself on openSUSE. fglrx unfortunately replaces some of the libraries (libGL), so the best way is to create a shell script that uses update-alternatives (eselect?) to switch links between the two, and moves the xorg.conf file around. Also make sure that in /etc/modprobe.d it's not blacklisting the radeon module when switching to that.
