ParaView segmentation fault only for multiphase

Dear all,
I installed OpenFOAM-1.5-dev on Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 and it all works swell, also paraFoam. That is, for single phase cases. When I run a multiphase case like damBreak or bubbleColumn paraFoam crashes with a segmentation fault. No error messages are given . When I convert the case to VTK and open it in ParaView, it still crahses with a segmentation fault. ParaView does give some error messages, although I can't really tie them to crashing for multiphase: Code:
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/11-lcd-filter-lcddefault.conf", line 9: invalid constant used : lcddefault Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf", line 17: invalid constant used : lcdlegacy Segmentation fault

Is there a debug-switch for paraFoam?
If so, try to switch it on, and maybe you will get a more detailed error message.

Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for your reply. I don't know whether there is a debug switch in paraFoam. There probably is one, but haven't found it yet . I did some further digging and found that there is a problem with the graphics driver (fglrx_dri.so). It turns out that my work laptop has an ATI card and I read on the Ubuntu wiki that I should grab the latest kernel and find the Ubuntu open source driver for my ATI card. I did that, but no success. I also installed OpenSUSE-11.2 on the same laptop to see if it works, but no success either . Does anybody have experience of how to get ParaView working properly on a Lenovo W500 (ATI Radeon HD3650 DX10.1)?

I had some problems regarding the graphics drivers, too.
Just installing a new kernel and/or graphics driver didn't work out on my system. I even had to recompile ParaView and the PV3FoamReader again.

With an ATI card? That would be great news!

I can't promise you THAT, but I made the experience, that changing drivers/kernels does not effect the current compilation of ParaView and the reader. I had to do it again ...

This is just a message to log what I got working. Hopefully of some use to someone.
After some struggle with Ubuntu and OpenSUSE it got "kind of solved" . At the moment I have OpenSUSE 11.2 installed and it works very well. The main problems were (are) with the graphics card. I changed two things that got it working:
