On a Sarge machine (set up with tasksel desktop a while ago, little touched since) with apt-show-versions | grep -E "mesa|nvidia|qt" showing: libqt3c102-mt/testing uptodate 3:3.3.4-3 nvidia-kernel-common/testing uptodate 1.0.7174-1 xlibmesa-dri/testing uptodate 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 xlibmesa-glu/testing uptodate 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 xlibmesa-gl/testing uptodate 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 qt3-dev-tools/testing uptodate 3:3.3.4-3 xlibmesa-gl-dev/testing uptodate 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 nvidia-kernel-2.6.8-2-k7 1.0.7174-3+2.6.8-13 installed: No available version in archive (because it was build with modass) libqthreads-12/testing uptodate 1.6.7-1 qt3-doc/testing uptodate 3:3.3.4-3 libqt3-mt-dev/testing uptodate 3:3.3.4-3 pinentry-qt/testing uptodate 0.7.2-1 xlibmesa-glu-dev/testing uptodate 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 libqt3-headers/testing uptodate 3:3.3.4-3 nvidia-kernel-source/testing uptodate 1.0.7174-3 nvidia-glx/testing uptodate 1.0.7174-3 (NB nvidia-glx-dev NOT installed)...
glxgears worked and is nice and fast. I built fracplanet-0.2.0 from clean and while it ran, the openGL display area was completely blank. Then I apt-get-installed nvidia-glx-dev, rebuilt fracplanet from clean, and it worked fine. glxgears still worked. The fracplanet executable built on the machine also runs fine on a machine with only software OpenGL (old laptop with S3 graphics; no nvidia stuff on it at all). And a fracplanet executable built on the old machine works fine (with hardware acceleration) on the Nvidia machine. So I guess I'm saying much the same thing as #272438 : installing nvidia-glx without nvidia-glx-dev seems to lead to trouble. (Apart from that it's great having all the nvidia packages back in sarge; I hope they stay there for the release! Thanks!)
