Error message:

[Benau]

you can try edit config.xml inside your config-0.10 folder and edit it with force_legacy_device="true" (false default) which will try to use another opengl code

[msalat]

added stdout.log + input.xml

[Benau]

You didn't follow my advice to edit config.xml

[msalat]

@Benau: thanks. Helps. Let's see if a newer graphics driver helps.

[msalat]

latest graphics driver for HD 6450 is of 2015.
