[Visualpython-users] segmentation fault on Fedora 16.

[Yann G. <ygo...@is...>]

I am trying to run the demo code (the bouncing ball) and I am getting a
segmentation fault (core dumped).  Debugging output and other system
informations are included below and glxinfo
output is attached.  I suspect that it is a graphical driver error.  I use the
NVidia drivers and have included that top of the /var/log/Xorg.O.log files.

However, I am rather stuck.   Anyone seen this before?
