Again: I do not want to use closed source binary nvidia driver. I do know how to configure DRI for nvidia (I ran gentoo on that box before), but I do not want it. I just want other users (knowing nothing about linux, not touching anything that needs root privileges) to be able to run the system, with default configuration, and NO crashes. But you guys act just like the guys from Microsoft. Telling me a thousand times about workarounds I already know and don't want to do, instead of fixing this bloody nv or mesa bug.
In the "Restricted Devices Manager" it says something about better support for open source drivers. Semms like that was a lie, huh? Think about all that people, that want to switch to open source for it is said to be more stable. They use ubuntu as an entry point, and then it crashes, and nobody wants to fix it. It was hard enough getting here. This bug site is like hidden. Look at the gentoo site: Bugs is directly in the top nav. Look at the debian site: Bug reports are directly is in the right nav. So I said to myself: Okay let's get this ugly crash reported, so it gets fixed and other users won't loose their unsaved work, while trying to play some video. The bug is still there. Guess what mplayer would say when no GL is available: <$ mplayer -ao null -vo gl somefile.foo> ... VO: [gl] 384x288 => 384x288 BGRA Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". [gl] no GLX support present FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver. VDec: vo config request - 384 x 288 (preferred colorspace: Planar YV12) VDec: using Planar I420 as output csp (no 0) Movie-Aspect is undefined - no prescaling applied. VO: [gl] 384x288 => 384x288 BGRA Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". [gl] no GLX support present FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver. FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo). Exiting... (End of file) </$ mplayer -ao null -vo gl somefile.foo> See what I mean: X is still up and running. No 3D. No GL, No crash. But instead it crashes.
