Bingo! I have Intel GM965/GL960 graphics card and I get the exact same error when I run: $$ MESA_DEBUG=1 python contour.py $$ Mesa warning: couldn't open libtxc_dxtn.so, software DXTn compression/decompression unavailable $$ Mesa warning: glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST) but no depth buffer I am using xserver-xorg-core 1.4.2 and libgl1-mesa-dri 7.0.3. The versions that seem to fix this problem -- xserver 1.5.0 and libgl1-mesa-dri 7.1 are both available in debian/experimental, though I haven't tried them yet. > > from a message by Colin on enthought-dev.
