I've been playing on a W2k boxen for months, but I've lost sound in the 1.6.4 upgrade. So I decided to transfer my minecraft playing to a nice new Debian Linux boxen. Obtained the 280K Minecraft.jar file and in a fresh .minecraft directory, I ran it. I gave it plenty of time to download all the bits.

Started the jar, logged i, more downloads and then crash. Crash report below.
T.I.A.

Yes, I do. This linux boxen has just been assembled and the GPU is an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7790 dual head and I am using the driver specifically written for it and direct from ATI.

Nope, not that one as it is a general one. I have this one;
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/RadeonHD7790CatalystPerformanceDriver.aspx
It was specifically created for this video card because of problems with the general driver on this card.

Hmm, is the OpenGL error an indication of driver problems?

Done and fixed*. Thank you.
Would you know if the open source driver for this card is also okay?
Or is an "opengl" error just a general indicator of bad video drivers.

*lost my sound now, so need to chase that, Lol, it was chasing lost sound on the win2l 1.6.4 client that started all this.

AARGH, still don't have sound.
If I boot on the 686-pae linux kernel, then I can play, but without any sound.
If I boot on the AMD64 kernel, I get sound, but still have an error in the launcher when I attempt to play.
So, this is broken/solved.
I'm going to try a few options and come back on this.
