I am using nvidia cards and have, as Maximi Konovalov(?), tried > with both the nv and the nvidia driver. (Currently using nvidia > driver tho) It is possible that nvidia is detecting that an ldt has already been allocated (calling i386_get_ldt() first before calling i386_set_ldt()) and assumes that it (nvidia sw) has already set it. So both the threads library and nvidia are using the same ldt for different things and stomping on each other. NVidia does state that their own drivers and their OpenGL will not work with our new threads libraries (libkse/libthr). -- Dan Eischen
