Take off your rose colored glass. The KSE developers have warned about this problem for months. If nvidia chooses not to update their source, complain to nvidia. > The following entries in /etc/libmap.conf solve the immediate problem > with making GL apps work again: > > libpthread.so.1 libc_r.so.5 > libpthread.so libc_r.so Alternatively, you can remove the nvidia drivers and use the nv driver that come with XFree86. > It's incredibly disappointing to me that after all this time this is > still an issue.
