Package: nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx
Version: 96.43.14-2
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When trying to use python-visual bball.py demo on a machine with
nvidia adapter requiring the nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx driver,
an error is reported (I attach the compressed error log).
The most important line in the error report is
#7 0xb6377bcd in Gdk::GL::get_proc_address(char const*) ()
from /usr/lib/libgdkglextmm-x11-1.2.so.0
#8 0xb63d47fd in ?? () from
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cvisualmodule.so
No symbol table info available.
When checking the dependencies of cvisualmodule.so and comparing it to
other, working systems, I've found the following differences:
$ ldd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cvisualmodule.so
[...]
libGLcore.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 (0xb58ec000)
libnvidia-tls.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 (0xb58ea000)
[...]
the above shared libraries are provided by the nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx
package:
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1
nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1
nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx: /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1
It seems, that the reason of the problem is the fact, that
Gdk::GL::get_proc_address(char const*) () from
/usr/lib/libgdkglextmm-x11-1.2.so.0 tries to find the function,
which does not exist in the NVidia driver.
A few months ago, the same problem was reported in more legible way
as: "(<unknown>:6536): GdkGLExt-WARNING **: Cannot open \xa0v3L.so",
but now no such info is printed.
This problem was reported by others and by me, as problem with other
packages,
but it seems that in fact it may be related to NVidia closed drivers.
Other bug reports, which most probably describe the same problem:

The 96xx legacy driver does not support the current Xorg Xserver 1.12
and is therefore no longer usable. The legacy 96xx driver packages to be
released with wheezy have been converted to transitional packages that
aid switching to nouveau.
So I'm closing the remaining bugs in the 96xx legacy packages.
