(...) Hmmm, a quick google search seems to indicate you're not the first person to encounter this problem. (URL) appears to be a problem with MESA hardware opengl support and the ATI Mobility chipset. I'll have to muck around a bit more with google (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) More searching reveals some tantalizing hints, but nothing concrete. Setting MESA_NO_SSE=1 is mentioned, but I'm not clear if it's an environment variable, or a compiler option. By the way, did you build MESA yourself, or was it installed by a (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Well, that's discouraging. It's still happening inside the Mesa startup code. Here's a link to what looks like a bug report from over year ago which seems to indicate it might be an out of memory error. But I don't see any evidence of a (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
