Another critical steam error / bug - i dont know ^^

Hey there.

I just set up Steam for Cs 1.6 - everything worked fine i could play with about 30 fps ^^...
well i was fine with that as long i could play but then it stopped working.
(alredy fixed that ingame features for friendlists etc)

when i now run steam and start cs im able to connect to a server and play for about 30 seconds before my macbook freezes.
the only thing i can do then is hard reboot it

the fan is running fast enough and every temperature is acceptable range.

i already tried to log the wine output with: wine Steam.exe > steam.log
but its empty.. someone told me to log it with: wine Steam.exe > steam.log 2>&1 (i dont know what this means but it did not work also...)

some specs:
wine-1.1.4
kde4

Arch linux on a macbook.
init script for cs:

#!/bin/bash

# WINE binary
CDLOADER_WINE="wine"

# Steam directory
STEAMDIR="$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam"

cd "$STEAMDIR"

WINEDEBUG="-all" nice -n -8 wine Steam.exe

EDIT: forgot my xorg.conf...

EndSection

i already tried to set Option "AccelelMethod" to "xaa" and to "exa" with MigrationHeuristic "greedy" "normal" "smart"....

does anyone have any suggestions what is going wrong or how i could log it?
