Argh, I''ve just upgraded my system to RH 7.3 and now none of my SDL based OpenGL apps run (even the SDL ports of NeHe''s demos don''t run) The apps compile fine, but crash as soon as the OGL window is displayed. I''ve downloaded the latest NVidia drivers and they seem to be working fine (Tux Racer works like a charm ) Has anyone else come across this? Apart from rebuilding the SDL libs is there anything else I should be looking at? Cheers Keef

If I remember correctly, try to run your app, when it crashes, press ALT-F10, and see what error messages are there, it should point you in the right direction. It might be some little thing that you overlooked in your app. More details would help...

Got it working.

When you install the NVIDIA driver RPMS, the package manager prefixes the old mesa glx libs with xxx-, but they still seem to get loaded. Deleting them totally solved the problem.

The offending libs live in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions btw
