Package: nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source
Version: 96.43.01-2
Severity: normal
Hi!
This bug is kind of difficult to explain, and I have no idea, how to
debugg it. I hope it helps anyways.
The situation is as follows:
I have an nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU] (rev a3)
graphics card (shipped with an Nforce2 mainboard) and builded the driver
using module-assistant.
It works quite well: 2D is not a problem at all, GL screensavers seem
to work, too.
However in most games using 3d I get to see only the background image.
E.g. when I start "ppracer", I get a blue screen, hear the music, but
neither the menu nor the snow flakes are shown.
That used to work, but I'm unsure which change made it stop. I think
(nut haven't tried so yet), that it stopped working, when the
legacy-96xx driver was splitted, since the "normal" one didn't support
my graphics card any longer.
Any idea, what I could try to solve the problem / get to know what's
going wrong?
Yours sincerely,
Alexander

This bug was reported against very old version of the NVIDIA legacy-96xx
driver. A few months ago we asked for testing the current driver version, but
so far we haven't got a reply. Therefore I assume the problem does no longer
occur and I'm closing this report now.
If you can still reproduce the problem with the current legacy-96xx driver
version (96.43.18-2 in testing/unstable) and kernel and Xorg from testing or
unstable, feel free to reopen this bug report.
