Segfault problem

[Ermabwed]

Hey,

 

I'm getting segmentation faults playing EL, basically all of the time on this machine. Sometimes I can play for maybe half an hour or longer other times I can't even get past the log in screen. I tried some other OpenGL applications to see if it's obviously a problem on my end, but after updating Google Earth, which was the only other application giving me segfaults, even that runs without problems. When I can start the game the segfaults happen without apparent reason, e.g. I repeated a task multiple times, like running from A to B, on multiple maps etc. before it crashes.

 

The files error_log.txt, main/*.log don't contain any error messages.

 

I'd welcome any hints as to whether this is simply "my problem" or if there might be something that indicates a problem in the EL client code.

 

System specs:

OS: Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.30, xorg-server 1.6.3.901 (happened with older kernel/xorg/ati-drivers as well though)

CPU: Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz

6 GB RAM, 300 GB free on /home (where cvs version is installed), 10 GB free on /usr where regular ebuild and data resides

OpenGL: version 2.1.8918, renderer ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

(let me know what else you need)
