Hi Eryl, sorry if we're late with a reply. I didn't see your first message.
Probably my lamo ISP... ;-(

Anyways, if its -fullscreen- games that are breaking, and windowed software
like gears is working, I'm betting you are using a graphical login. Don't. Use
the text logon. KDM causes 3D accelerated stuff to crash. Just use a text
login, then "startx"...then run your software and see if it doesn't run!

Hope this helps.
