I had to use a javascript browser (links2) to access system requirements 
for linux RP10 and RP8.  The latter, like RP8 Windows, calls for 120MHz 
and 32MB and 16-bit color.  THe former calls for 350MHz and 64MB.  Perhaps 
someone goofed in the programming and RP8 also needs 350MHz?

Is there some way I can figure out just what is causing the segmentation 
fault?  Some sort of register dump?

RP10 (based on Helixplayer) is not going to fit on any of my hardware.
