So I have an Intel X3100 (standard issue with third-generation MacBook) for a graphics card. It works — at least, games run at playable speeds — but I've noticed a few odd problems when playing OpenArena.
For example:
* When I stand up close to a wall or other flat surface and look at it, the little icons at the bottom of the screen get clipped by it. Will post a screenshot if necessary.
* In the main menu, the animated logo at the top does not show.
* When rockets explode, a sort of square flashes around the fireball for a moment.
The first and second problems (not sure about the third) did not happen in either Mac OS X or my old distros (Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04), so I figure I must have done something stupid. Here are the graphics-related sections of my xorg.conf:

Installed packages related to Intel graphics (pacman -Q | grep intel):
intel-dri 7.4-2
xf86-video-intel 2.6.3-3
Packages related to SDL (pacman -Q | grep sdl):
sdl 1.2.13-3
sdl_image 1.2.7-1
sdl_mixer 1.2.8-3
Also: I've noticed that War§ow takes a long time to start up, but this may be due to it requesting a file containing the newest version number from its website and then timing out. If so, how do I disable that?

The problem is what you didn't do. Read this first http://keithp.com/blogs/Sharpening_the_ … ver_Focus/ and then try to find the best combination (xaa/exa/uxa/gem/kms/dri/dri2) for you.
You need to install an RTFM interface.

After a recent update, the logo now displays. Gonna give the rest of the game a try.
Update: The icon-clipping thing seems to be fixed as well.
