I think it uses it for direct rendering the waveform display. I wonder if there's a better way to do it, as it does seem excessive. Anyway, what's not right with this picture is there's supposed to be code to check whether you have OpenGL, and if not, switch off the waveform. Clearly this isn't working as intended... Have you tried using the 'nv' driver? I don't know if that would have the same problem. I agree the nvidia driver can be a pain: I have to roll my own kernel to ensure it works properly and it has to be redone every time there's an upgrade. I don't plan to ever get an nvidia card again until they make their driver free software.
