I am having exactly the same problem with squake on my Debian 2.0
system as well, only I have a Matrox Millium(sp?) card. 'ldd `which
squake.real`' gives me:
libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x4000b000)
libvga.so.1 => /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 (0x40014000)
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40051000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4010f000)
ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x401b4000)
Something is definetely wierd here, as linking to two libc (different
versions no less) can not be good for the health. I have tried different
values for LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD, but to no avail.
The only lead I have on this is that Netscape 4.x was giving me
simular problems to this as well. If I hand installed a copy of netscape
into /usr/local/..., it would segfault on start, and an ldd showed that
that it has also linked to both libc's, 5 and 6. When I feed the debian
wrapper package for netscape the same tar.gz distrib file as I had used to
install manually, netscape magically got installed in such a way that it
looks for only libc5.
From this, I suspect that the problem has little to do with svga
lib or video cards, but with messed up linking. I need to look at the
source to the debian wrapper package for netscape, the answer probably
lies there, but I have not had time yet.
My two cents, hope they help!
