I've upgraded the nvidia drivers/libs to the version in unstable, and recompiled visual with the patched gldevice.cpp (I didn't try going back to the original version), and am happy to report that all seems well so far. Many thanks! Perhaps a note to the effect that the linux nvidia drivers version 1.0.5336 do not work with visual, upgrade to 1.0.6106, should be added to the linux download page. Love the new helix! --Marty On Friday 23 July 2004 08:49 pm, Jonathan Brandmeyer wrote: > On Fri, 2004-07-23 at 18:42, Martin Gelfand wrote: > > In answer to the questions from J.B. ... > > * I am using an nvidia card with the nvidia drivers > > * The output of everything after import stars... > > [snipped] > > Thanks for the info. > > First, apply the attached patch to cvisual/gldevice.cpp [1], rebuild > vpython, and see if that fixes the problem. > If it does, please upgrade to the latest nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel > packages in unstable, and rebuild vpython from the unpatched source, to > see if upgrading the nvidia drivers fixes the problem. > > If applying the patch corrects the crash and upgrading the driver does > not, please run glxinfo and send me the output. > > Thanks, > -Jonathan > |
