The thing is that the map and the "whats on it" layer are currently shown
with a kind of parallax effect

I just thought of checking other in-game resolutions, and found that at
least two (800x600 and 1280x758 IIRC) do *not* show the effect.

Although the latter is enough to make the game playable, I would still like
to know what is causing it (for when I decide to buy a better video card).

P.s.
I've currently tried two different games, and both crashed somewhere doing
nothing much special. :-|
Can't say I wasn't warned during the installation of the driver though.
