Bug Description
Binary package hint: blender
Running a fresh install of ubuntu edgy powerpc on a powermac dual-7400
I've sudo apt-get install blender && blender &, and what happens:
blender takes over the screen and doesn't even reach splash screen. The mouse is changed to a black, opengl-style pointer.
The whole gnome desktop is frozen, can't even control+alt+F2 to a tty.
A 'top' command over ssh reports blender-bin is at 99%.
Then: a killall -KILL blender-bin kills blender, but nothing happens: the desktop looks the same, and Xorg is seen acting up at 99%.
After, a killall -KILL Xorg just results in Xorg relaunching.
Killing gdm finally clears the screen to black, but Xorg still hits 99% and the computer does not respond.
All one can do is shutdown -r now.
glxgears runs fine
glxinfo reports direct rendering is supported.

In addition, BioImageXD, an application that uses python and wxPython widgets with opengl as well, freezes miserably the same way Blender does: the mouse can be dragged (and has an opengl cursor), but the whole computer is not responsive, takes forever (a minute or two) to ssh to it and issue a reboot command.
