Hello there, recently I've been using this great OS and while trying new stuff I decided to install some games!!
I installed some from reps like SuperTuxKart and TuxRacer, but also wanted to try one that came to my attention, Yo Frankie. Well to make long story short every time I play this type of games (3d ones that may be played with a joystick), I get a glitch kind of thing on screen and lose control while playing.
e.g. In supertuxkart sometimes it drives to the left or right all by itself.
Because of this I'm unable to play this kind of games, after googling I found out that since I have an HP laptop, it has 3d Driveguard, which has an Accelerometer for HD protection which is fine, but the annoying part is that kubuntu has configured it as my joystick, any ideas how to revert this? Games go like crazy if I'm not a flat surface, and sometimes to have my LAPtop on my LAP jejeje which makes it difficult to attain balance.
I greatly appreciate any upcoming help, I'm very patientand eager to learn but am still a noob, oh and since I'm not a nativ English speaker sorry for any mistakes.
Well my second problem is that I want to use the Ares network without installing wine, because I searched and mostly I find it has trouble connecting. I've found a solution using a daemon called gift with which I can connect to Ares network using a plugin. I managed to make this work after doing a lot of work, but I finally did. Well the next step was to install apollon, but couldn't find a package for (k)ubuntu, so I downloaded tar file from its website, decompressed it and in terminal proceeded to do ./configure
but I get this error:
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths
t
googled it and no success in finding anything very helpful, well all I found is that I should download some dev packages, but since I have no idea what I'm or might be doing to the system I decided to make a halt and ask for help before ruining it. Well I really want to use the ares network I miss it sou much and even when I have XP dual boot, it's pain the ass to switch to windows everytime I want to download.
Any ideas welcome but I wanted to ask if giftoxic will work as well.
I need to get back studying, kubuntu is like a new toy for me and sometimes I get lost and spend to much time :P
Edit: This is where I got the info, sorry it's in Spanish but meanwhile I try to translate it please look at the code they use.

Oh and when doing "apt-get install apollon" it says it doesn't finds it.
