[Chromium-dev] NVIDIA driver crashes

[Brian P. <bri...@ya...>]

I'd appreciate it if anyone else using the NVIDIA Linux drivers
could run a test for me.  The test is Mesa's 'manywin' demo which
opens N OpenGL windows and renders into them round-robin.  On my
system, if I run with N > 1 the X server immediately crashes and
thereafter OpenGL is flakey until I reboot.

If you've got Mesa installed, cd to the xdemos/ directory
and run 'manywin 2'.

I've tried two different revs of the NVIDIA drivers and both
crash the X server.  I'm surprised that such a simple program
would expose such a severe bug, so having someone else run the
test would be a good sanity check.

This has caused me to waste a lot of time today when working
on multi-window support in Chromium.  I've been using Mesa
with software rendering in the mean time.  Most recently
I've got the Open Inventor SceneViewer demo running on
Chromium with all the material editor windows intact!
