This is what is on the Ubuntu machine in the auto-build farm that
compiled the Ubuntu build that started this thread:
ii libgl1-mesa 6.4.1-0ubuntu8 A free implementation of the
OpenGL
ii libgl1-mesa-dev 6.4.1-0ubuntu8 A free implementation of the
OpenGL
ii libgl1-mesa-dri 6.4.1-0ubuntu8 A free implementation of the
OpenGL
ii libglu1-mesa 6.4.1-0ubuntu8 The OpenGL utility library (GLU)
ii libglu1-mesa-dev 6.4.1-0ubuntu8 The OpenGL utility library --
devel
ii mesa-common-dev 6.4.1-0ubuntu8 Developer documentation for Mesa
ii mesa-utils 6.3.2-0ubuntu6 Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities
This is what is on the Ubuntu machine that had the problem running it:
ii libgl1-mesa-dev 6.5.1~20060817-0 A free implementation of the
OpenGL
ii libgl1-mesa-dri 6.5.1~20060817-0 A free implementation of the
OpenGL
ii libgl1-mesa-glx 6.5.1~20060817-0 A free implementation of the
OpenGL
ii libglu1-mesa 6.5.1~20060817-0 The OpenGL utility library (GLU)
ii libglu1-mesa-dev 6.5.1~20060817-0 The OpenGL utility library --
devel
ii mesa-common-dev 6.5.1~20060817-0 Developer documentation for Mesa
ii mesa-utils 6.3.2-1ubuntu1 Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities
So you are saying that they removed NV compatibility from in mesa
when going from 6.4 to 6.5?
