[PyOpenGL-Users] failure on GNU/Linux (Debian) on AMD Duron hardware

[Arthur M. <art...@in...>]

Hi, I have a nearly ten year old PII-266 with Cirrus Logic graphics card 
that runs the Python game "bouncy" under Debian unstable  albeit very 
slowly.

I tried running this on an AMD Duron machine with GForce3 Ti200 graphics 
card and the free "nv" X.org driver, and received the following error. 
The error persisted when using the "vesa" X.org driver.

Any ideas?

Package: bouncy
Version: 0.6.20071104-1
Followup-For: Bug #453287


I upgraded to sid, and still received the same error:
