hi knut,

i cannot reproduce the error on my athlon 64 machine. (also i've got
only nvidia cards around) and i don't know about existing bugs on amd64
concerning nexuiz.

maybe it's again the same issue concerning screenshots, which i
considered to be fixed by the latest debian package. can you please
check, if you were playing on a server that forced your client to take
a screenshot after each map? again, i considered the screenshot
problems to be fixed on amd64, but perhaps it isn't...

another thing you could try is downloading the latest nexuiz release
from the upstream website [1] and try the prebuild binaries. (the
debian packages of nexuiz 2.1 are waiting to be uplaoded atm)

if nexuiz 2.1 works for you (please run the -sdl binary), i'll set this
bug as pending, if it doesn't, it would be helpful if you could generate
a backtrace of the current debian binaries.
