I think this is some OpenGL error.

Tell me there is an ugly trick to run openGL apps faster. ??? I have no solutions as of now.
There is a clean and efficient way to make your OpenGL apps run 10 times faster and your other 3d apps will most probably benefit as well. The trick is to go to www.ati.com , download and install their latest driver for your card.

The try running with this switch -dd. It will create a file called log.txt which you can then send to me and I'll take a look at it.

File sent.
Once again, thank you very much.

I was trying the demo.
When I tried to forge a magic item, the game froze and I had to use the task manager to end it.

Oh I also found some stderr.txt file in the dir that reads "Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)". Maybe this is related, since the window was titled SDL?

Well, it seems I have exactly the same problem. And it isn't solved that easily. You see, ATI doesn't support their mobile family, because laptops are too customised, as they say on their web pages. And the Fujitsu-Siemens (my laptop is from their product line) has Last driver update from 2002. And that seems to be the only one that works...

(sorry for the grammar errors and not being clear enough, just came from bar. And why I was in a bar on monday - don't ask)
