[gentoo-user] bzflag runs then crashes

[James]

Hello,

I have bzflag running quite nicely on a portable
(intel 3GHz p4) with gentoo.
I'm trying to get bzflag  [Installed: 2.0.8]
running an [AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2400+) with 
1.5 M or ram. Both the 2.0.8 and the 2.0.4
versions crash with the same symptoms, so
it seems like the problem is not with bzflag,
but in how glx/aiglx/dri/x/kde/whatever is set up.

Video card is:[GeForce2 MX/MX 400] 

It runs but crashes after about 10 seconds.
Is there a log I should look at for any detailed
information as to why it crashes? When It crashes
it kills off the entire kde login session, and
put the kdm login-in screen back up on the system.
The OS does not reboot the machine, just kde.

It could be the nvidia driver and aiglx or the 
underlying kernel (2.6.17-gentoo-r8) being messed up.

The only error message I get in /var/log/messages is:
Nov 12 20:55:48 crystal kde(pam_unix)[7491]: session
