I don't know if you are going to receive this double, but I think that the
mailing list software silently dropped my message because there was a wrong
"Return-Path" field.. but i'm not sure. just trying.

No, you are probably not doing anything wrong. I have Matrox G450 and it
hardlocks too...
I managed to reach about 10 minutes of game (yes, i started with 1-2 minutes
too), messing with the DRI driver. It seems that Matrox developed a very
shitty DRI driver for linux :-)
So I have a to play without OpenGL support (and this sux). If you find out
how to fix this problem PLEASE email me!
