Installed Ubuntu 7.10, then BlitzMax 1.26 just fine.
When compiling my game I get:
The dma buffer comment would appear to be sound(?) related. I do have system sounds and I can hear audio when steaming video from the net, so it appears the system sees my SB Audigy card just fine.
[edit] I also updated to the latest FASM already.
[edit2] A Google search seems to imply this is a video error. It's strange that this game compiled fine on an old Dell laptop with Ubuntu 7.04, but now I am getting this error on a newer desktop (with a decent ATI graphics card) and newer version of Ubuntu/BlitzMax.
[edit3] Yeah, I am seeing a lot of references to ATI cards in relation to this error. I tried a different driver and corrupted Ubuntu so badly I had to reinstall it. Still searching for another solution before swapping out video cards.
When compiling my game I get:
