Maybe nothing to do with the issue here, but there are some unigine workarounds in drirc that may not get read if (historically at least) you don't specify that they should go in /etc. I haven't looked recently but in the past with your options they would end up in /usr/etc and not get used so add -
--sysconfdir=/etc
Hey Andi, thanks a lot for your help also.
I have rebuilt and reinstalled Mesa/11.0 now, but the result is the same. I start tropics (even just in 1024x768 windowed), the benchmark loads and the 3d flight to the islands starts with some flickering and visual annoyances until the camera turns and the computer hardlocks so bad I cannot even open one of the other consoles and I have to do a hard reset and reboot. :(
Oh, Ok, Not that I have the same card anyway, but I can't test Tropics as I am on a pure 64bit setup.
WRT the hard lock did you try SysRq? Apologies if you already know all this -
Press and hold both <Alt> and <SysRq> keys, while still holding them press and release <s> wait a sec, then press and release <u> then <b>. If it works then this is a cleaner way than a hard reset as the <s> syncs disks and the <u> remounts them read only then hopefully the <b> reboots.
