box - has to be compiled - glibc too new).

By "crash", do you mean "suddenly dies without explanation", or "prints out/pops up an error and quits"?  I suspect it is an OpenGL problem - this is not uncommon on Linux, unfortunately.  Could you please send me the output of the command 'glxinfo'?

thanks,
