Place a bug report in the reporting area with all the details.
Barry,

Get yourself something with ATI and feel our pain. Have it running Linux and you can double that. ATI's Linux support is either incompatible or atrocious, depending on which distro you run.

I was chatting to the guys at DCA at Castle Hill. Because of the gaming user requirements, ATI are outrunning NVidia at a great rate. If ATI's OpenGL support doesn't improve there are going to be a lot of unhappy users.

I'm trying to compile qt461 to see if Stellarium 0.10.3 will even think of running.

I guess the Radeon card will have to go to make room an NVidia. Good thing I don't have two running in crossfire.

FYI, VMA v5 (also using OpenGL) on my Linux box is glacially slow.

Edit: Both qt 4.6.1 and stellarium 0.10.3 compiled cleanly. stellarium consistently segfaults within seconds.
