Linux/OpenGL: ONLY DomIII does not run! Why?

I does not matter wether the resolution is 640x480 or 1680x1050. The -xxx helps somehwat, but it is unbearably slow.

I experimented with older ATI binary drivers and found one where Dom2 would run fast again. However, Dom3demo did not run at all with the old driver:
Code:



*** glibc detected *** dom3demo: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0be37af8 ***

So the glibc 2.4-31.1 does not fit the older driver somehow. Dom2 runs fine though.

(In response to Leif_-)
Maybe all this reinstalling of graphics drivers caused some mess, but I do not know how to check for multiple libraries. All I do is using my distributions packet manager to install and remove RPM's, and I make sure do remove older ones. MESA is still there, since there are many dependancies, but my glxinfo shown in the first post shows that MESA is not used, right?

It is still weird that freeware 3D games like Neverball run very fast in high resolution with all graphical mumbo-jumbo enabled, like transparencies, anti-aliasing, multiple light sources and mirror effects, while the simple graphics of Dominions are unbearably slow...
