Crash on glBegin() (Was: Help with debugging needed)

[Stefan Dösinger]

Hi,
I've continued my work on Empire Earth my Solution(or is it a hack that works 
by pure chance?) seems to work quite well, and the string operation was also 
easy to solve, I just may not delete the intro movie.

Now I've run into the next problem: Any call to glBegin(GL_Something) crashes 
in the libs of my OpenGL driver(ATI fglrx) due to some NULL pointer 
access[1]. If I disable Hardware Acceleration, the crash doesn't occur and 
Empire Earth starts up to the Main Menu more or less successfully: It only 
shows a black screen, but it reacts to keypresses(Sounds are playing, I can 
take screenshots with the in-game Screen Shot Funktionality[2]. A +ddraw log 
can be found at http://www.doesi.gmxhome.de/ee.out.bz2

I suspect the crash and the black screen problem to have more or less the same 
cause somewhere in the OpenGL initialization. I will test with some other 
OpenGL implementations(The X.Org one and if possible the one from the nvidia 
driver). Does anyone have any experiance with this? Some Pointers?

A few words to the Screen Shot: Appearently the screen shot is not totally 
black, it shows the correct mouse Pointer and the Texts are correct. It 
should draw a background image. The background seems not to be redrawn, so 
the old mouse pointer remains visible. The vertical mirroring appears only 
sometimes, it's perhaps also redraw related.

Thanks again for your help,
Stefan Dösinger

PS: are there any freely downloadable Direct3D 7 games available wich are 
working with Wine? I'd like to test these with the somewhat strange fglrx 
driver.
