Hi, well this is an ugly to deactivate GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object (OpenGL only) extension support by game. If you have correct graphics after that, you have find (another) ATI linux driver bug :) You can send it to ATI guys (they will be happy) :) Regards, Raphael PS: Nvidia drivers seems to have bug on vbo support too (but only on my proto) :(
