I said "YMMV" due to my experience with nvidia drivers. The same version of a driver may work on some graphics card, but fail to work on another. Since you have a Quadro NVS, might as well give it a try. -- Shree -----Original Message----- From: Sim...@cs... [mailto:Sim...@cs...] Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2010 1:09 PM To: viz...@li... Subject: Re: [vizstack-users] [ExternalEmail] Re: Problem running vs-configure-standalone from shree branch I'll give that version a shot, but I think it's one of the ones we've tried - it may be something to do with the GLX issues, if that version has worked as intended for you before.

Subject: Re: [vizstack-users] [ExternalEmail] Re: Problem running vs-configure-standalone from shree branch I checked the version of the nvidia driver on my laptop. Turns out its not old. The version number is : 195.36.15 . You may want to try with this driver, but YMMV. I tried on my machine with this, but faced some other problem. The configure script just hangs with this driver. Investigation revealed that the X server started by the configure Script had not exited. The configure script starts/stops X servers multiple times. If this driver is installed, the X server does not exit at all ! So, I have added a check in the current code - if it finds that the X server doesn't exit in 30 seconds, it flags you to change the driver !
