If you are the one with the different drivers, try and isolate that by dropping back to theirs. If it is not the drivers, it sounds like it could also be a heat issue ie, program segfaults when things get a little warm. What's the cooling like on your machine?
Hi Greg. I've tried both 3123 and 4191 drivers. I also ran memtest for about 12 hours/24 passes on my 512 megs of DDR Ram. No errors reported. System temp is 27 C. CPU temp is 50 C. After 12 hours of running memtest, it was 52 C.
What is your video cards temp? an over heating video card will segfault / crash / lockup. I had this exact problem, getting a fan for the video card fixed the problem.
It could also be a bad video card, after it overheats many times it might just be shot. :(
I've had the game segfault right after booting up, like 2 mins into the game, and I've had it run for 2 hours, with the machine having been on all day. In single player or across the LAN. Seems to be totally random. Tribes 2 and Rune also crash, back to the desktop. Whats really odd is that not even one of my WineX games, including a hog like Warcraft 3, crash. They all run perfectly.
But are they pushing the video card to it's limit?
These 3 games run fine under 9.0 on my 2 sons comps (Geforce 2 cards). I even tried renaming /lib/i686 to i686.old and copying their i686 folders to mine, then running ldconfig. Made no difference, same error.
I'm really at a loss.
Try swapping cards?
