ETQW SDL Error.... won't start

My Computer has the following specs:
- AMD Phenom II 965 3,4Ghz
- 4GB Ram 1066Mhz
- ATI Readeo 5770 Overclocked Edition

this setup worked under ubuntu when i wanted to play ETQW but now it fails to run on Arch Linux X86_64

I use the client to build a folder where to game is to run from ~/Games/ETQW/ and it completes without any errors, but when i try to start i get this error:

********************
FATAL ERROR: Image '_default' was generated with internal format 0x83f0 but GL returned 0x0
********************
8/8/8/8 RGBA bits, 24 depth bits, 8 stencil bits

--------------- BSE Shutdown ----------------

Shutting down SDL subsystem
idRenderSystem::Shutdown()
Sys_Error: Image '_default' was generated with internal format 0x83f0 but GL returned 0x0

The screen flashes black briefly and then it fails back to the desktop

I have gotten everything else to work now... even the cpu frequency scaling on my laptop.... This game is the last thing that doesn't work yet.
unfortunately is my most favorite game and only it doesn't work

The only thing i can find about this is a French webpage that doesn't make any sense to me... it tried translating it with babelfish but then it makes even less sense to me then it did before

here's the link

Anyone have any suggestions what this could be ?

Re: ETQW SDL Error.... won't start

Are you using Catalyst or the open source drivers ? I have the same issue but didn't found a solution.
On one of the previous catalyst releases it was a known issue that ET:QW and Quake didn't work but I can't find that file anymore. I doubt that they have or will fix it...

Re: ETQW SDL Error.... won't start

Just note, if someone see this error under x64 + nvidia drivers, try lib32 nvidia utils.
