** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Fixes segmentation faults in glXGetFBConfigs() that happen frequently + when the nvidia binary drivers are present on the system (even if they + are not in use) by adding a null pointer check. While the SEGV seems + innocuous since it only happens with glxinfo, quite a few essential + programs such as compiz use glxinfo to detect GL capabilities and this + causes problems. This is fixed in Karmic which as of this time has mesa + 7.4.1, but the issue still stands in jaunty's 7.4. + + [Symptoms] + Segfaults in glxinfo. glxinfo reporting Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display. + + UPDATE:Oct 8 2008. installed daily updates ( 2.6.27-6-generic ) and still getting this same glxinfo error on boot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I was running PlayOnLinux and tried to install 3d acceleration from there when glxinfo crashed.
