Subject: [gentoo-user] bzflag runs then crashes

1 Hello,
2
3 I have bzflag running quite nicely on a portable
4 (intel 3GHz p4) with gentoo.
5 I'm trying to get bzflag [Installed: 2.0.8]
6 running an [AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2400+) with
7 1.5 M or ram. Both the 2.0.8 and the 2.0.4
8 versions crash with the same symptoms, so
9 it seems like the problem is not with bzflag,
10 but in how glx/aiglx/dri/x/kde/whatever is set up.
11
12 Video card is:[GeForce2 MX/MX 400]
13
14 It runs but crashes after about 10 seconds.
15 Is there a log I should look at for any detailed
16 information as to why it crashes? When It crashes
17 it kills off the entire kde login session, and
18 put the kdm login-in screen back up on the system.
19 The OS does not reboot the machine, just kde.
20
21 It could be the nvidia driver and aiglx or the
22 underlying kernel (2.6.17-gentoo-r8) being messed up.

24 The only error message I get in /var/log/messages is:
