I'm sorry, but it consider it very unlikely that anything "weird" (== wrong) is being done that would trigger a bug like that, but then again, maybe there are indeed not enough people using precisely that driver version and video card to trigger the bug; so that only you would suffer from it. You could try upgrading the drivers and kernel to the latest (beta) version. The only thing that comes to mind is that in the viewer it is possible to set the video card RAM higher than the card actually supports; however, in my experience that leads to crashes of the application only (memory corruptions) and not to problems in nvidia's kernel module. You could check it though (wouldn't hurt) Edit --> Preferences --> Graphics --> Hardware Options --> Texture Memory, must be set no higher than the actual amount of video RAM your card has. Other settings that I have there are: Anisotropic Filtering off, Antialiasing 2x, Gamma 0.00, Enabled VBO. -- Carlo Wood <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLDev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
