I have an nvidia card in my work machine. loch from therion 5.3.8 on Ubuntu 11.11 (Oneiric) there does not work at all. It dies with a 'bad drawable' error before displaying anything. I'm using the nouveau driver. I've tried (but failed) to build a debug version to work out what's going on. I'll try a bit harder, but won't actually be in work again for the next 2 weeks. I could make a trip to test this I guess. Commenting out the two gltexture lines which used to make intel cards blow up does not help, so that's a red herring. It feels like we are not initialising the card properly (or VTK isn't). Ol's double-buffer init suggestion is worth trying, althogh I'm not sure how that relates to loch as it uses VTK rather than opengl directly (as I understand it).
