OpenGL doesn't work with nvidia-current 190.53

Oddly enough, I had the same problem with the Sevenmachines PPA NVidia drivers and when I switched tonight to the nvidia-current drivers 180.53-0ubuntu8 OpenGL compositing does finally work with KDE (hooray!) but 3D applications do not (boo!). Try upgrading to 180.53-0ubuntu8 and see if the compositing does work again as it does for me, although it leaves me with an odd choice. Sevenmachines PPA and 3D apps will work but compositing will not or nvidia-current where 3D apps do not work but compositing does. The joys of testing!

I'll be a second voice to say that there is a problem where OpenGL 3D applications with Wine and native programs do not work with nvidia-current.

My problem with OpenGL appeared just after I switched to nvidia-current 190.53. I can only try to install nvidia-driver from website again and see if OpenGL works again. But this is only workaround.

OpenGL for 32-bit applications should now work with an update to ia32-libs to version 2.7ubuntu18 which has just hit the main servers today. I have also noticed along with others that 64-bit native Linux applications also work. Is OpenGL not working still an issue when you use nvidia-current and update ia32-libs to the latest version?

After upgrade to new ia31-libs my computer games now work again with OpenGL, but KDE compositing effect still doesn't .

I have again switched to driver from Nvidia website and OpenGL now working.

I have installed libgl1-mesa-glx (to fulfill some package dependencies) and nvidia-current in parallel. If I run "ldd some_opengl_program", then it appears that it uses /usr/lib/libGL.so instead of /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.

Probably bug 568016

That's if OpenGL still fails with beta 2.

I think I've a similar bug. When I use OpenGL app, screen refresh start to be really slow after a while (It can be 5 minutes or 2 hours... and I can't really explain it with a specific action). Some points appear when I move windows (after the "freeze") and I can't use OpenGL app if I do not restart.

This bug didn't exist in 9.10.

My conf :
2 Nvidia 8800 GT graĥics Card
Dual screen (1 Full HD and 1 1680x1050)
4 Gio Memory
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz

Desktop FX enable

Just did a fresh install of 10.04 amd64 Desktop on my daughter's laptop. Activated the nvidia-current drivers for the chipset and found that every 3D application I tried (all of which worked on the system with 9.10 386 Desktop) complained about missing 3D support in one form or another.

Oddly enough, my similar laptop was upgraded from 9.10 amd64 Desktop to 10.04 and had no issue running any of the applications that failed on my daughters.

Digging a bit I found that glxinfo would segfault every time on the fresh install but yet work perfectly on the upgraded machine. Further digging revealed that X was apparently running completely autoconfigured on the fresh install. That is, there was no xorg.conf of any kind. While the upgraded system had a minimal xorg.conf specifying only a few options. Copying the minimal xorg.conf that explicitly loaded the glx module to the freshly installed system seems to have completely fixed the issue.

I've attached the minimal configuration to this report.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

That version is no more supported; please open a new bug report if the actual archive found version also has the same issue.
