hello peeps.
I managed to get bmax installed and updated to 1.20.
Ran a syncmods after that.
I have installed g++ 3.3.

Then wrote a lil test program to see if it works, but the compiler keeps tossing the following error:

Building lin_bmx_01
Linking:lin_bmx_01.debug
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Build Error: Failed to link /media/hda2/coding/BlitzMax/Test/lin_bmx_01.debug
Process complete

any ideas?

Most likely thing wrong is that your install of linux is using software 3d, and not making use of any 3d hardware accelleration. Check your gfx card drivers.
