Bug Description

I usually use the proprietory nvidia driver, but right now I'm using the nv driver instead.

KInfoCenter crashes with a SIGSEGV (signal 11) when I click on the OpenGL menu item. A little
dialog pops up telling me it could not initialize OpenGL. When I clik OK, it crashes.

I cannot provide a useful (with debug symbols) back trace, sorry.

It's not really much of an issue to me, but I'm still interested in hearing if others can
confirm.

this seams to happen, if there's no working glx at all, neigher nvidia nor DRI nor mesa.

does this still exist, on kubuntu dapper, with kde 3.5.2?

I cant reproduce it, but I dont have a nvidia card, which could be the problem...
