Linux Counter-Strike Source black screen
Hey hey!

I've just installed steam and Counter-Strike Source on Linux Mint. When I start a CS Game I get a black screen. I'm in the game, because I see black contours and there is the normal sounds!

Can somebody help me?

Hardware specs? Proprietary drivers?

I have a HP 650 Notebook with intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family integrated Graphics Controller. Newest proprietary drivers installed!
more detailed information please, processor model, clock speed, ram, hard drive/ssd?

I never tried!
It should run on your system, did you try to verify the integrity of your game cache?

Right click on the game, click Properties, click Set Launch Options, and in the bar, type -windowed It will play the game on a window instead of full screen, and it should work.

I meant type -windowed not windowed

RIght click -> Properties -> Browse Local FIles.

Go to the cstrike folder and delete or rename the file videoconfig_linux.cfg

The game should now work. I've noticed that the game stops rendering when I set Anti-Aliasing to anything other then none. nVidia GTX760 Linux Mint.
