Bug Description
On Dell XPS 15 9560 running ubuntu 17.04 with proprietary NVIDIA driver v375.39 (Nvidia-375) /w NVIDIA GTX 1050 card, screen set to 3840x2160 resolution, when launching Extreme Tux Racer from GUI or terminal it repeatedly launches and closes, machine so unusable I can't close it or restart the system.
When launched from a terminal the terminal window is filled with message
The requested video mode is not available, switching to a valid mode.
Resetting Ubuntu screen resolution to 1920x1080 fills the screen with glitchy graphics for a second, then black screen for a second, repeats constantly. Music playing but no visible graphics.
