Er, I'm unclear as to the issue you are currently seeing. I am assuming that glxinfo crashes for you when you try and run it? You also don't appear to be using nvidia-glx-legacy...

the Geforce 4 Ti does not need the legacy driver or am I wrong?

I thought the legacy driver is for TNT2 to Geforce 2 (without MX).

SK8T:
Correct - the Geforce 4 Ti should not really be using the legacy driver. I'm beginning to wonder if all NVIDIA crashes (legacy or otherwise) have been folded on to this bug...

It doesn't matter if the card works with a newer driver or not.. Looking at the Procmaps output of these dupes they all were using the legacy-driver.

Timo:
If people can use later drivers than legacy then they should because the driver behaviour has changed. legacy will disable GLX when the COMPOSITE extension is on (and COMPOSITE is enabled by default since Edgy). See Bug #91064 for details on this. If people are seeing this and have an old card which can ONLY use the legacy driver it would be interesting to see how they ended up in this situation because if they enabled drivers via restricted-manager then this particular problem should be worked around.

Ah, so it was that simple.. I guess people who have simply done an upgrade see these crashes. Running restricted-manager (which, if I've understood correctly, regenerates xorg.conf) should make things work again?

This package has become obsolete so we're closing out the bug report as WONTFIX.
Thanks for reporting it though!
