<pre>Ok. so I'm 'glad' that it seems that Leo has also observed this bug.
Since he has already explained how to make a 3D plot with Mathematica, let me
give one more piece of information - although I don't know if it is of any
help:
If you invoke Mathematica on the command line, then it allows you to switch to
Mesa libraries, 'circumventing' whatever(?) part of the openGL system:
~> mathematica -mesa
I realized today that when you do this, the behavior described in this bug
report goes away (...and Mathematica graphics gets real-nice'n-slow...).
Early Mathematica versions, like version 6.x or so, where known to crash on
linux systems with Intel 945 cards and I remember that Wolfram Inc. was
claiming that this had to do with 'limitations of open source drivers'.
I also remember, that whenever in those times you filed them a graphics bug
report, letting them know that you were using linux, they would tell you to use
the '-mesa' option.
I filed a bug report with them today. I'll let you know when they got back to
me.</pre>
