I'm having the same problem with ALL GL/GLX apps: screen savers, games, compiz... I have a fully updated Hardy installation, using an nVidia GeForce 5200 AGP card w/ 128MB RAM. I'm using the EnvyNG nvidia installation & drivers since using the standard restricted nvidia drivers was a disaster (screen locked in at 800x600 res and the monitor wasn't properly recognized. The EnvyNG installation seems to have effectively installed and configured the video system utilizing the latest drivers, but the GL functions simply don't work.
As an example, when I was using the generic 'nv' video driver immediately after performing a clean Hardy install, all of the screen savers worked, but some were very slow. After installing the nVidia drivers utilizing EvnyNG none of the GL screen savers worked. Also, I recently checked the '3D' tab on the included Chess program (which was working just fine in 2D); the Chess program attempts to load, and then immediately shuts down without showing the game board. I suspect the problem is with software, and not hardware, since this is a dual-boot machine and the accelerated video in WinXP works perfectly. -- [nvidia] GL xscreensavers crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110125 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
