I've posted this issue along with an nvidia-bug-report.log.gz that caught the problem to the NVIDIA thread: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=167084
This worked correctly on my first install of Wheezy on 07/23 with the same linux kernel I'm currently using, 2.6.39-2-686-pae. I'm working on installing from snapshot.debian.org all the packages providing shared libs to the OpenGL applications with this problem but haven't completed this. thanks,--jack --- On Sat, 9/24/11, Andreas Beckmann <deb...@abeckmann.de> wrote: From: Andreas Beckmann <deb...@abeckmann.de> Subject: Bug#642497: nvidia-glx: incorrect rendering followed by xserver infinite loop when using some OpenGL apps To: 642...@bugs.debian.org, 642497-submit...@bugs.debian.org Cc: cont...@bugs.debian.org Date: Saturday, September 24, 2011, 3:24 AM tag 642497 upstream moreinfo thanks On 2011-09-23 05:30, jack wrote: > I had nvidia-glx and X running well on Wheezy installed July 23,2011 on a new > PC with an NVIDIA 560 Ti card. > After an apt-get upgrade on August 17, the OpenGL features are no longer > working correctly and I haven't been > able to restore the system, even when rolling back to July 23 versions > (nvidia-glx=275.09.07-5 and xserver-xorg-core=1.10.2.902-1) In that case, probably some other change introduced in the Aug 17 update caused these problems. /var/log/dpkg.log*, /var/log/term.log*, /var/log/aptitude* should contain your upgrade history. > OpenGL problems seen in 3 different packages: There is nothing we can do about these problems in the closed source driver.

Have you tried creating a completely new user account (with no accumulated cruft in his dot-files) and testing as this user?

If you report this to NVIDIA, please post the URL to the corresponding forum thread to this Debian bug report, so that others may follow progress.
