The thing with the dynamic libraries explains a lot of things.

As the static version from W3-server works, I would say that the issue is 
somewhere in the shared libraries.

Normally I only install amaya versions from the w3-server, because the update 
in debian wasn't that fast. I was pleased and surprised to find amaya 9.51 in 
the debian repository. I keep an archive of old amaya-versions, so I have 
easily made some dpkg -i on an older version.

Have you removed all the other first and reset your .amaya directory?

I have DRI enabled, but even the remote scenario I described below worked with 
the statically linked version (softGL). I also have the latest clean sid with 
xorg7

Issue is that all the wxWidget-things (menus and icons and frames) displayed 
very well. Only the rendering of the page was messy. So it hints to a problem 
between the amaya rendering output and what the GL-thing expects...

I work like that since ages and it worked with the GTK-version, but it has 
performance issues with the WX version. If it doesn't work, it is caused by 
different font installations on the two debian boxes (debian and fonts 
*sigh*). The WXversion doesn't have the issues with the fonts but is slow 
(means displaying one character per second) to unusable

I think this is because of your thotrc in .amaya which has some 
hardwareacceleration=1 in it like Irene described.

Thanks for the answers..
