For what it's worth, in Lubuntu the full fglrx packages causes immediate crashes, while uninstalling all fgrlx-related stuff except for fgrlx-core makes it last a while before it dies.

Also, this computer was a rush job to replace my rather old previous machine which died Monday morning, and all I did to "install" the OS was to use the old hard drive. As a consequence, the new machine is running in 32-bit mode, not 64. I'm not sure how mature the 64-bit stuff is, or how neglected the 32-bit stuff may be at this point.

Dear guys!

I'll test Scilab on AMD A4-4000 today with Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and
14.04.2 LTS and report back.

On my laptops I successfully use Scilab 5.x on Intel HD graphics (open
drivers) and old Nvidia (GTX6xx, GT425, 9600GT both with proprietary
drivers).

Strike that, I'm running 12.04.  Dang.  Time to upgrade, I
guess.

Yep, first thing to do.
And keep on digging on the videocard driver side if you still have
troubles.
Scilab tends to be a good way to detect buggy video drivers!
Getting a cheap videocard with decent drivers might be the easiest
way to solve your problem.
You might try to ask other Linux users what card they have and
whether they get graphics related crashes.
