If I run in SDL mode, I haven't managed to crash it yet. So that's very
good news. (Only played for 10-20 minutes though.)
Upgrading xlibmesa-gl (which also upgraded xlibmesa-gl-dev but made no
other changes to the package list) might have helped a bit, because the
game can sometimes last a minute or two before crashing. But it's still
very unstable, to the point of not being playable in any meaningful way:
* It's *very* slow. Even slower than SDL mode. The placement diamond
lags behind the mouse pointer by a couple seconds and only "jumps" to
a new position every second or two.
* It still crashes regularly. For example,
griffon:~$ lincity-ng -g -w

Couldn't open HelpWindow: Error while parsing component 'Document':

<crashed>
And as you may guess from the messages above, there was no text in the
help window. I tried running it a couple times, but it would always
crash after a few seconds or minutes.
I know very little about 3D gaming under Linux in general, so I'm probably
doing something stupid (or not doing something I should). Reading the
package description for xlibmesa-gl suggested to me that perhaps I should
install xlibmesa-dri as well. I did that, then restarted lincity again:
griffon:~$ lincity-ng -g -w

So that wasn't helpful. But at least SDL works.
