I hit the same problem and I had to rebuild OSG, SimGear and FlightGear, but it gives a different error. I filed a bug on the NV forum, details below. << earlier similar "Got an X11ErrorHandling ..." lines deleted>> Got an X11ErrorHandling call display=0xec1b10 event=0x7fff08decd20 GLXBadDrawable Major opcode: 135 Minor opcode: 5 Error code: 146 Request serial: 51 Current serial: 51 ResourceID: 31457283 Error: In Texture::Extensions::setupGLExtensions(..) OpenGL version test failed, requires valid graphics context. I rebuilt OSG, SimGear and FlightGear after the driver was installed.
