Problem running my PCSX2 on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn/Free cookies!

[Proto]

Seeing how my post went underground in the thread I hijacked maybe a thread of its own will attract more people. The free cookies might bait one of the lazy mods that would normally avoid a Linux-related thread


So I made my own pcsx2 build for my Ubuntu 7.04 and everything went (more or less) a-ok. Here is the list of warnings I got:

Despite the warnings, the compilation finished without any other major problems. So I happily went to configure the emulator, and make sure it could run the BIOS. And yes, the BIOS ran without any major problem. However when I tried running my Final Fantasy X CD i got the following output:

ZeroGS: creating
ZeroGS: Got Doublebuffered Visual!
ZeroGS: glX-Version 1.3
ZeroGS: Depth 24
ZeroGS: you have Direct Rendering!
ZeroGS: Creating effects
ZeroGS: Creating extra effects
ZeroGS: using accurate shaders
ZeroGS: initialization successful
ZeroGS: Disabling MRT depth writing
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And as every segmentation fault error in the universe does, the program went kappoot. After that I tried messing around with the cdrom plugin (thinking it was the problem as the other ones didn't had one when running the BIOS). Well there wasn't much to play around with, so I just switched my device from /dev/dvd to /dev/scd0 knowing it wouldn't help much but thinking I wouldn't lose much. Not to my surprise it didn't help much. I know the CD itself isn't the problem since I have successfuly run it in PCSX2 Windows version.

So this is what I have tried so far. Any suggestion as to how can I get past this?

PS: I would provide you with the dumped core but it is not in its usual place in /var/crash. If anyone cares to tell me where it is I will glady upload it as well,

First get the latest version from SVN. I was never able to get the CD plugins to work, so make an iso. If you don't know how, google. DD is your friend.

However, you're not going to find much joy. I haven't found any of my PS2 games that work so far. KH gets the furthest but stops because of lack of gamepad support.
