Linux-Demo crashing after choosing gateway

[Elderian]

Hello!

The Linux-Demo (downloaded today) crashes every time i completed choosing a gateway. The gme runs until the message "starting graphical gui....", then simply exits to the shell..

Tested Systems:
Pentium II 266 MHz, 288MB RAM, nVidia Riva TNT 16MB graphics board, SuSE 8.1 Pro, Kde 3.0
Celeron 1300 MHz, 240MB RAM, S3 Savage4 onboard 16MB shared, SuSE 8.1 Pro

The Windows-Version works perfectly on the Celeron under XP

The debug log (same error on both machines):

Nothing helped

The Linux demo is not the best.  It doesn't really like the new distros.  The patches (which only work on the full game) fix most of these things.  :)
