I just upgraded my OS from RedHat7.2 to RedHat9.0, with the result that I can no longer run my usual OpenGL applications, in particular, IDL (Interactive Data Language). Before the OS "upgrade" I had no trouble at all.
Even glxinfo and glxgears crash from the beginning, so I suspect there's a fundamental library problem:
sean:transport> glxinfo
Segmentation fault
sean:transport>
My uname -a is:
sean:transport> uname -a
Linux sean 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:18:24 EST 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
The RedHat upgrade gave me XFree86 4.3.0-2 via the rpm's: XFree86-4.3.0-2.i386.rpm XFree86-libs-4.3.0-2.i386.rpm XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-2.i386.rpm XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.3.0-2.i386.rpm
My video card is an NVidia GeForce 3 Ti 200. The latest driver from nvidia.com won't compile on RedHat9.0, probably due to the new c libraries, so I am trying to use the inbuilt XFree86 driver. My
/etc/X11/XF86Config file is attached, as is my /etc/ld.so.conf file.
I would *greatly* appreciate any help. 3D graphics would be fine, but I would be very happy right now just to have my basic functionality back, i.e. glxinfo, IDL, etc working.
I should say that, via Gnome, I have a window manager running on the new OS (had some unresolved trouble with KDE).
Thanks very much in advance,
Sean Dettrick
