Any ideas how to fix it? Oh yeah, doesn't Mesa conflict with the nVidia install on libGL issues? The nVidia installer provides a link to it's own libGL version and Mesa will overwrite that, from what I observed back when. I don't have Mesa on my system and glxgears runs at 1300fps on an old old geforce 5200. Not shabby. My system doesn't complain of missing libGL either, from a stock nVidia factory driver install. I never allow it to dnload a pre-compiled driver either, I let it compile it for my system. Nary a burp in the barrel.
