We are expereinceing a strange problem:

We have an app that displays a 3D seismic volume, (and which uses paletted testures and texture objects)

Running with the latest NVidia drivers on a 7.3 system , this works just fine.

Doing same on an 8.2 system with same NVidia drivers (wether from the .run file, through wahetevr mechanism Suse installer picks them or by installing from source) the texture objetcs/paletted textures get corrupted.

All other OGL apps under 8.2 (quake3, gears &c) work just fine. Problem is 100% reproducible on different hardware comboes (geforce 2 MX up to Quadro 4)

Quesions:

1) Has anyone seen this behaviour before ?

2) Is this an issue with 8.2 ? Xfree 86 4.3 ?

3) Has anyone gotten the 41XX drivers to work under Suse 8.2 ?

4) Who should we contact for further info ? ;)

This looks to be an issue with NVidia in combination with XFree86 4.3 I rebuilt the kernel (and modules) with gcc295.

Same problems.

Rebuilt a stock 2.4.20 kernel

Same problems.

Im also experiencing weird (but maybe related) problems at home (also Nvidia + Suse 8.2) after being logged in for a while ( a week ?) and starting quake (1, 2 or 3) my mouse does not work (in quake) but does work just fine under X. Restarting the Xserver solves the problem. [Ctrl-Alt-BS]

Further to this downgrading the Nvidia drivers to 41XX also does not solve the problem.
