For some reason if I look at a planet in Linux (Red Hat 9), it segfaults. Don't know exactly why, i've been messing around with the texture settings and that doesn't seem to be it. Couldn't imagine what this could be though.

Newbie to linux, so, don't hurt me please.

It will run if I manage not to look at a planet though, which is weird. Runs quite fine in fact.

Dual 1.7ghz Xeon, Quadro 2 (32MB)

What level are backgrounds set to?

It does it with all settings.

maybe turn off background?
