X-Windows error message when starting Serious Sam on Fedora 8

[callen92film]

Hello,

I'm hoping someone else might have come across this message when trying to start Serious Sam: First Encounter on Fedora 8:

ssam_lnx: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.
./ssamtfe: line 123: 3275 Aborted ./${GAME_BINARY} ${CMD_ARGS} "$@"

I've dug around and found out that this is related to X-Windows. I also get a similar error message when trying to start the AMD Catalyst Control center as well.

Thanks!

Update...

I upgraded from the 8.42.3 ATI Drivers to the 7.11 that came out earlier this week. It resolved the error message for the Catalyst Control center but it is still doing it when initializing Serious Sam:

ssam_lnx: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.
/usr/local/bin/ssamtfe: line 123: 3913 Aborted ./${GAME_BINARY} ${CMD_ARGS} "$@"

bummer...

I experienced the same issue
How I've solved this:
1. opened ssamtse starting script
2. changed the value of GAME_BINARY variable from "ssam_lnx" to "ssam_lnx.dynamic"

It worked for me
