Getting segfault on Ubuntu 8.10 at startup

[Detructor]

Hi,
<<<<EDIT>>>>
even with the official binary I'm getting a segfault.
<<<</EDIT>>>>
after compiling the game (no errors), I get a segfault instead of the main menu.

The logfile is empty and I don't know where the error could be.

Oh, and I've linked the /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0. Sound works (I can hear the sound at startup while the "Glest" screen is displayed).

My system:
Ubuntu 8.10
MSI Megabook GX610-T6435VHP Performance Edition
CPU: Turion 64 X2 TL-64 (2.20 GHz pro Kern)
RAM: 3 GB
HDD: 250 GB
GPU: ATI Radeon Mobility HD 2600 XT

Driver is the newest driver from AMD/ATI

*edit2

it seems that my graphiccard driver is the troublemaker:

ok...now it works, I don't know why...first I thought that the Catalyst AI was the problem...but it isn't.

Don't know what I've done, but now it works...

Good to know it's working for you.
