The following will install a sound hack to fix sound problems in Enemy-Territory and disable the screen saver before Enemy-Territory start.

Install Sound Hack for ET.
Code:

wget http://outletstore.sonyonline.de/linux/et-sdl-sound.tar.gz
tar -xvvzf et-sdl-sound.tar.gz
sudo chmod +x et-sdl-sound/et-sdl-sound
sudo mv et-sdl-sound/et-sdl-sound /usr/local/games/enemy-territory

Edit the start routine of ET

Code:

sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/et

Find:

Code:

exec ./et.x86 "$@"

Replace with:
Code:

# Disable screensaver before ET start
SCRSV=`gconftool-2 --get /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled`
if [ "$SCRSV" = "true" ]; then
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled "false"
fi
exec ./et-sdl-sound "$@"
#exec ./et.x86 "$@"
# Enable screensaver after ET quit
if [ "$SCRSV" = "true" ]; then
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled "true"
fi

Remove useless install files
Code:

rm -rf et-sdl-sound
rm et-sdl-sound.tar.gz

You're done!
