I have not had any problems with NWN and the latest linux-sdl12 port.
It was the first program I tested after upgrading to xorg 7.2.  :)  At
least when it comes to single-player mode, it works for me.  At what
point is it crashing?  It sounds like it is crashing for you when it
should be loading a map.  Yes?

I am running STABLE from June 1st, so they should be close enough.

I would like to see the truss output.  I am not sure how well I will be
able to use a Linux core dump to an application without the source.
Also, please send the log files in ${HOME}/.nwn/logs.  They may tell
more.  Are you using the nVidia driver?  What version if yes?  Other
places to look for clues would be ${HOME}/.xsession-errors and
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.
