Hmmm, a quick google search seems to indicate you're not the first
person to encounter this problem.

It 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 to
see if anyone mentions anything like a workaround.

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 package in the distribution?

I installed it per the instructions on the LDraw website, so I guess I built it
myself.

I suppose you could try:

  export MESA_NO_SSE=1

before running ldglite and see what happens.

I'll try that when I get a free moment.  I was kinda hopeing that this problem
was a problem with my Linux install and not hardware.  Oh well...
Thanks for the effort.
