Assertion failed on Eee 1000

I have an Eee 1000 running a freshly updated Arch Linux. When I try to launch Eschalon Book I I get the following:

$ ./Eschalon_Book_I 
./Eschalon_Book_I: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by ./Eschalon_Book_I)
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Eschalon_Book_I: i915_vtbl.c:344: i915_emit_state: Assertion `0' failed.
Aborted

The first warning seems harmless; the library version is (I think) correct though the version information has been stripped.

I get the Xlib errors with other games, not sure if they're important but those other games work.

The final assertion failure is what kills it. The registration page appears briefly, maybe for 1 second, and then it throws that assertion and aborts.

This is with the full version, which I purchased for my old laptop. It is my only hope in the face of my two boring classes. Thanks for a great old school RPG game, and for a Linux version!

With some Googling, help on the Arch forums, and a bunch more Googling, I've found a solution. Running xorg-server 1.6.0 and the new Intel drivers 2.6.99.902 from Arch testing worked (along with dependencies of course). Note that it requires a 2.6.28 or later kernel to get hardware acceleration, because the drivers need GEM support in the kernel.

It's perfectly playable, though a little sluggish. Thanks again for making this great game, and making it available on Linux.
