It's funny, I never actually tried it in its native GUI -- I only ever remotely displayed the X window. I also can't get it to run in the GUI (at least when it's displayed via VNC).

In the GUI, I don't get a segmentation fault, but it seems to conk out at open /dev/dsp failed, followed by "parent dying, can't get sample rate from child". It can't find the sound device and gives up.

One way to fix this is to launch it with "kegs -audio 0". Or, for sound support, you can follow the instructions on the gsport development page which say to add snd-pcm-oss to /etc/modules, rebooting, and then typing sudo chmod 666 /dev/dsp.
