[Hardy]Glest crashes with Segmentation fault

[der_vegi]

I am using Hardy amd64 with all updates applied and Glest 3.0.0-0ubuntu1.

Whenever I start a game in Glest and try to send a unit to do something, Glest crashes instantly when the red arrow appears, showing where the unit is going. I did use autoconfig in the in-game menu (as proposed in the man entry), which recognized my ATI card and set the number of lights to 1.

This seems to be a problem of the ATI fglrx-driver 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.11-12.31 I am using. The glest forum (www.glest.org) knows many problems with ATI drivers...
With the open source driver, it works. But as there is no 3d acceleration, it is quite unusable.

See http://www.glest.org/glest_board/viewtopic.php?t=3304 for more info.

Still there with version 1:7.1.0-8-4+2.6.24.13-16.35~tja1 from ppa.

Still there in 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.13-19.45.

This can be fixed by installing the catalyst 8.9 driver from ATI's website.

Also fixed in 8.10's fglrx driver.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.
