Ahh, looks really ugly.

Did you use the Gentoo packages?

If not short on bandwith, try using the linux binary form the planeshift page and see if it still happens.

Yes, I did.

I\'ll give it a try. Tomorrow (due to my bandwith - ISDN) I will test it.

By the way... I\'ve tried the nv driver instead of nvidia and it worked, but (of course) incredibly slow. The newest version of nvidia-glx (v1.0.7676) no more supports GeForce2 GTS, so I\'m stuck with v1.0.6629.

Code: [Select]

(II) NVIDIA X Driver  1.0-7676  Fri Jul 29 13:01:02 PDT 2005
(II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all NVIDIA GPUs
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(WW) The NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro GPU installed in this
(WW)      system is supported through the NVIDIA Legacy drivers.
(WW)      Please visit [URL]http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html[/URL] for
(WW)      more information.  The 1.0-7676 NVIDIA driver will ignore
(WW)      this GPU.  Continuing probe...
(EE) No devices detected.

FWIW, I have exactly the same problem on ubuntu with the latest
nvidia (7676) driver on a Quadro2 EXR (32M ram).
