"useDGA" = "Y" Is not recommended unless your program is well behaved since it
accesses /dev/mem directly which can lock up your X session. As far as I have
been able to figure out the purpose of this setting is to squeeze an extra bit
of speed for graphics operations so that your game will play slightly faster
(better frame rates). If this game is not working right in the first place using
this setting will only make things worse.  

Generally I test new programs using "desktop" = "640x480" before trying other
settings. If everything seems to work ok with a game in the desktop then I will
try "managed" = "Y" without desktop and so on.

This makes debuging the program easier. So I would suggest that you use desktop
= 640x480 and useDGA = n to start with and report what problems you encounter.
