DetailsDescription:
After the upgrade at 2011/01/20 I recognized that OpenGL applications only show up with a blank window. This affects all programs with an own x window somehow, eg. watching videos with vlc doesn't work (I switched to totem), xmoto doesn't show up, etc. The applications can only be killed with a SIGKILL. Compiz, meanwhile, can use OpenGL without hanging up. There are no relevant messages in the logs. Additional info: Kernel: 2.6.36-ARCH Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT Driver: nvidia /var/log/pacman.log at 2011/01/20: [2011-01-20 21:41] Running 'pacman -Syu' [2011-01-20 21:41] synchronizing package lists [2011-01-20 21:42] starting full system upgrade [2011-01-20 21:44] upgraded cracklib (2.8.16-1 -> 2.8.18-1) [2011-01-20 21:44] upgraded dmidecode (2.10-1 -> 2.11-1) [2011-01-20 21:44] upgraded dmxproto (2.3-1 -> 2.3.1-1) [2011-01-20 21:44] upgraded libx11 (1.4.0-1 -> 1.4.1-1) [2011-01-20 21:44] upgraded libxaw (1.0.8-1 -> 1.0.9-1) [2011-01-20 21:44] upgraded pixman (0.20.0-1 -> 0.20.2-1) [2011-01-20 21:44] upgraded xf86vidmodeproto (2.3-1 -> 2.3.1-1) [2011-01-20 21:44] upgraded xineramaproto (1.2-1 -> 1.2.1-1) Attachment: installed packages Steps to reproduce: Start any application which uses OpenGL.

This problem dissolved a few months after reporting. For the current state I can't say anything as I'm using nouveau now.
