Broken NWN menu

I used to play Neverwinter Nights with a Radeon X1650 Pro (AGP). My motherboard died, so I had to buy a PCI-Express video card, I took a Radeon HD4650 (PCI-Express). I had to upgrade the radeon driver, mesa and kernel to get 3D to work with the new card, and now it does.

But Neverwinter Nights doesn't. The mouse course is not drawn, all fonts are white squares, and when I go as far as loading a game in blind mode, it makes the whole computer crash (hard reset required).

Using the software render (libgl1-mesa-swx11)  instead of the DRI one (libgl1-mesa-glx) the game runs, but is of course too slow to be played.

I include a few screenshot of the software version versus the hardware one.

I'm using Debian Sid with a 32-bits userland and a 64-bits kernel with :

- kernel 2.6.33-2-amd64 ;

- radeon module loaded with "radeon modeset=1" ;

- libgl1-mesa-glx, libgl1-mesa-dri version 7.7.1-1 ;

- xserver-xorg-video-radeon version 1:6.13.0-1.

If you need any additional information or me to perform some tests, just ask.

Thanks anyway to all the Mesa/DRI community for writing good drivers.

Note : this may be related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26809 or https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27576 but I'm not sure since I've a complete crash at the end, so I opened a new issue.

Ok, I found the problem : it's the s3tc. If I disable it in driconf, the games work. I do have problems with fullscreen mode using KMS but that's another issue and I'll do more tests before issuing a bug report.

So I close this bug, just disable the s3tc as explained on http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24047#c12 or wait until the bug 24047 is fixed.
