i686 or x86_64? Have you looked at upstream bugtracker/forum for similar issues?

Did some recent upgrade cause this (if so, any idea which?)
Any output when you start celestia from the command line?

p.s. work on my i686 laptop here (updated last Thursday)

here is a pic of what celestia looks like on my desktop.

Also i'm using i686 with catalyst 9.8 on my custom kernel when i took the pic. the kernel is compatible with archlinux 3rd party drivers if you need to know. So its not that different from archlinux kernel.

PS i thought a rebuild was needed cause mesa has be updated since July but a simple rebuild still gives me the same problem.

can you try if it works with a non-binary video driver (try vesa or something)
Comment by christopher rogers (godane) - Tuesday, 22 September 2009, 16:52 GMT
i got good news. It works on the normal open source radeon driver. So the bad news is this maybe a catalyst bug. Never had a bug like this before. All my other games work fine with catalyst drivers.

PS It doesn't cause the 100% cpu when closing also.

In that case I'm not sure there is much we can do at the moment. You may want to check the celestia forums to see if they have a fix or if more people have the same problem. In the end you may need to wait for ati to release non-broken drivers (not sure if filing a bug report that is of much help).
