Hello Carsten,

Ok, thanks for the report...

I'll let someone else answer here since I'm not well versed in the qmax
part of the source.. How do you modify the brightness, btw? cvar or menus?
Just so to know..

I think this was asked before (let me try to find it in my archives).. On
a voodoo3 it might be interaction with your OpenGL implementation but
perhaps there are some settings which will help you.

Hmm.. tried de-activating BUILD_ARTS on my RH7.3 but it didn't do a
thing.. I even tried to remove arts + arts-devel altogether, which made
the mcop warning disappear but not the segfault.. Perhaps a reboot would
have been in order if something had been loaded by arts.. I don't know but
I will investigate as the machine is just too good to waste.. :)

Thanks again,

Vincent
