That may not be enough video memory. If you change that file to be 1024 by 768 and windowed=1, it may run ok then.

Hey guys,
I recently uninstalled the game and yesterday I’ve installed it again. But when I now try to run
Gratuitous Space Battles it always gives me errors.
The error on the first launch:
ERROR - FMOD[Failed to init FMOD] (58) Error creating hardware sound buffer.
:…\src\GUI_Sounds.cpp 635
Then it crashes back to desktop.
When I then try to run it again the error message is:
Failed to initialise 3D Engine:…\src\Game.cpp 284
I have checked the older versions too:
On v1.23 its …Game.cpp 282
On v1.24 its …Game.cpp 278
On v1.25 its …Game.cpp 279
On v1.30 its …Game.cpp 284
When I delete the
“C:\Documents and Settings\MyUsername\My Documents\My Games\GratuitousSpaceBattles”
directory and launch the game again, it gives me the first error message again.
Why doesn’t the game work anymore?
Here are the error messages:
v1.24 WHEN I RUN THE GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME:

Just today - new install via Steam, using wine on Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64.
The prefs.ini file in My Games was created, and I got the 3d engine initialisation error. Putting a stanza in it like this thread suggests let it get through to the sound initialisation step where it breaks now - I’m looking around on the forms for hints on that 
It’s definitely worth checking for any updated drivers for your soundcard, and worth turning off any fancy-pants options for sound hardware acceleration or effects under the sound card driver options. That stuff can often screw up.
