Well I just tested the game. First I just tried it using 2.6.37 from
sid, but otherwise keeping X and mesa from testing. This resulted in
the same problems, but greatly reduced.

I then proceeded to install the X stack from sid and I also pulled
Mesa 7.10. The garbage around the screen in the game disappeared, but
unfortunately the game became massively slow. Too slow to be played...

This was a bit disappointing since I had been hearing very good things
about gallium 3d, especially r300g which supports my video card.
I guess I'll have to wait for more performance tweaks.

I guess you can close the bug report. My main concern, the garbage
around the screen, has been dealt with in sid.
