Quake2 on Kubuntu 11.10

Just finished upgrading to Kubuntu 11.10 (from 10.10 and 11.04) and now 
my Quake2 no longer works in GL modes. Software X11 mode works but 
Software SDL, OpenGL GLX and SDL OpenGL do not. I get a seg fault and 
this output...

Quake2 worked very well under Kubuntu 10.10 and prior Kubuntu versions.
