Yes, you'll need that for any mod you want to play under linux (at least
run the server under linux). There are definately linux versions of the
game module for Eraser.

Cant help you much with the vid issue tho, other than that google suggests
that it might be to do with changing the video mode after the game module
has been initialised, so starting the mod through the commandline is
perhaps right. The other thing (without looking deeply at all) is perhaps
the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, and needs to be?
