sorry, i forgot to suggest to run sauerbraten in windowed-mode for that
test. it's done that way:

cd /usr/lib/games/sauerbraten
gdb ./sauer_client

then, at the gdb prompt type
run -t

this should start sauerbraten in a window. if the window captures your
mouse pointer, you should still be able to <alt>+<tab> through the
windows (maybe you're running a different window manager, which has
different keyboard shortcuts to change focus). then you can press
<enter> every time gdb will ask you to do so.
i hope this does the trick!


meanwhile, i had another idea, what you could try! please run
sauerbraten from a shell by that command:

sauerbraten -t -f

this *should* start off sauerbraten in windowed-mode (-t) and disable
all shader effects (-f). i tested it on my (amd64) machine - works.

i suggest to test this, because in the output you pasted before i
noticed you're running the r300 open source ati driver, which is known
to be a bit buggy for some games. if disabling all shader effects does
the trick for you to avoid the crash, it may be a bug in the r300
driver!

cheers - fuddl
