Hi! Does anyone have any clue about this?

Bus error

Running Blender alone without -d (debug) give simply "Bus error". I 
googled a lot about it but couldn't find nothing for certain. Some guy 
troubleshooted this error by deleting a file in his home directory, but 
that file seems to be created when running Blender for the first time.

It's running on i386 atom with poulsbo driver PSB working well (to say 
something... it's a crappy video card and even crappier for linux, not 
even mention for blender).
I suspect it's not related to some step missing in installation, as when 
installing Blender on a decent desktop PC it works at once. (AMD64 
architecture with ATI videocard and catalyst driver).

To my surprise, when first trying kub. 11.04 and before I could 
configure the video driver, blender did start! When adding the ppa:PSB 
or similar the system couldn't start again. So I think the problem is 
related to some missconfiguration in the PSB.

My xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier      "Monitor0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
         Identifier      "Device0"
         Driver  "psb"
         Option  "ShadowFB" "true"
         Option  "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier      "Screen0"
         Device  "Device0"
         Monitor "Monitor0"
         DefaultDepth    16
         SubSection "Display"
                 Depth   16
                 Modes   "1024x768_75.00"
         EndSubSection
EndSection

Any clue will be apretiated. Thanks
