Getting Started (FreeBSD AMD64, Radeon)

Hi all,

I installed PC-BSD/amd64 on an AMD64 and then TORCS from the "Software and
Updates" utility (a kind of PC-BSD ports)

TORCS does not launch - it shows briefly on the KDE taskbar and then
disapears. It runs in the background taking up some GBs of RAM but I don't
see it. The KDE desktop shows some visual glitches and slows right down.
It's difficult to type this after TORCS has started and failed in the
background. I once (very briefly) saw TORCS flicker on to the screen when I
gave up and started another game, but that hasn't happened again.

The graphics card is a Radeon 9700 Pro. I tried changing screens.xml to my
desktop res + full screen with no effect. Desktop is 1360x768.

How do I launch TORCS?

Thank you,
