Minecraft crashes after login / and HoN problems

Hello,
I've recently installed arch linux over my old ubuntu partition. But I have some problem when starting minecraft, I keep getting this error when I try to log in:

Minecraft has crashed!      
      ----------------------      

Minecraft has stopped running because it encountered a problem.

If you wish to report this, please copy this entire text and email it to support@mojang.com.
Please include a description of what you did when the error occured.

Any clues on how to fix it?

Got a similar problem with Heroes of Newerth. When I try to launch it, I get a black screen for 1 second, then back to my desktop.

EDIT: I get this error when trying to run sh hon.sh;

warning: The VAD has been replaced by a hack pending a complete rewrite K2 - Fatal Error: ARB vertex_buffer_object not available.

Re: Minecraft crashes after login / and HoN problems

Firstly you appear to be using OpenJDK, I'd recommend using the 'jre' package (Sun's official runtime environment), that may fix this error/other odd bugs.

If not, it looks like a problem with your graphics setup, what drivers are you using/what is your card? Could you run 'glxinfo' and post the output?

That second error suggests a problem with your graphics drivers also. If you have an nVidia card you should install the proprietary drivers as the open ones don't work too well yet, the open ATI ones are better but still not perfect and (certainly for optimum performance) you should probably try the proprietary drivers also.
