after start game is clicked, complete X lock up

[spike1]

Binary package hint: crack-attack

When the game proper is started (after start game is clicked) X locks up completely requiring magic sysrq to reboot. ctrl-alt-backspace and ctrl-alt-F1 do not work.. Tested with various circumstances. with or without compiz active. compiled from the source deb with enable-sound=no. still the same crash. Such a severe lockup would seem to indicate a bug in the intel driver, but that's just an uneducated guess.

Tried network and solo play with same result too.
