I set the option Shadow at True in the xorg.conf and shutdown and restarted the machine.
Then I tested glxinfo: there is no crash anymore!
glxinfo | grep "direct rendering": YES

celestia (1.6.0): no crash also but once launched it is slow: after
celestia has launched and displayed the welcome message, top shows that
the process celestia-gnome takes all the cpu available, e.g. 95% of the
cpu, even when I do nothing in celestia. In celestia, If I move the
mouse pointer (a cross) from the main graphics window to the "File" menu
option, the pointer takes about 1 to 4 seconds to change to the arrow
shape. RIght now, alt-tab from my typing this comment, to celestia takes
about 4 seconds.

celestia Help / OpenGL info says:
Vendor: Mesa Project
Renderer: Software Rasterizer
Version: 2.1 Mesa 7.10-devel
Max simultaneous textures: 8
Max texture size: 4096

It seems the shadow option do not accelerate anything ?
