nvidia GLX segfaulting: Blender

[raschko]

I'm am just curious if anyone running fedora 11 with an nvidia chipset is having issues with opening blender, and then segfauting?

Currently I have the kmod-nvidia package instead of the supplied driver from nvidia.

blender works fine here

but i am using a nvidia.run driver/installer and reinstalled Mesa GL ,to replace the one nvidia over wrote .


What driver are you using ???
the nvidia.run or the kmod-nvidia, or akmod-nvidia. ????

[raschko]

Currently using the kmod-nvidia driver, will be removing that and trying out the .run one tonight.

[JohnVV]

if you install the .run driver .Make sure you uninstall the kmod first
then after you install the .run driver and reboot REINSTALL mesa
i just reinstall every mesa rpm

with the code

su -
yum reinstall mesa*

once the above have been installed for the first time.

also when using the .run driver you will need to reinstall that for EVERY kernel,X11,and xorg update

Indeed, will keep things posted!
