This problem makes my GeForce3 Ti 200 basically useless, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I have tried two OpenGL applications so far: VMD-1.8a16 (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/) and xscreensaver-4.05 (http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/). They have similar but slightly different problems. First, neither makes use of antialiasing, and VMD specifically reports the lack of an AA buffer, despite my use of __GL_FSAA_MODE=4.
Second the apps only work once: when I try to restart VMD, it reports no errors but displays an empty GL window, never even clearing its contents; when I run xscreensaver it will only run a GL screensaver once, displaying only a blank screen the second time it is activated, without any errors.
Actually, running the xscreensaver apps in windows seems to work multiple times, while the -root option has the problem I described...so there is clearly something strange going on. Also, VMD and xscreensaver don't seem to interfere with each other.
You can see my system configuration information (http://www.deconfusion.org/tmp/nv/), including the output from VMD.
Please help!
I'll go play with the NVAGP setting again and see if it has any effect......
