My Mathematica version is
In[1]:= $Version
Out[1]= "6.0 for Linux x86 (32-bit) (June 19, 2007)"
This is installed on a machine with an Intel Core Duo processor (64 bits)
with 2GB RAM. The graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 series, with 256
MB memory. The command "fglrxinfo" gives
" [gardyloo@siduxLAB ~]$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1300/X1550 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6747 (8.40.4)"
It seems that *any* graphics which involve Graphics3D are now crashing
Mathematica,
generating the message
"Mathematica has received the signal: SIGSEGV and has exited.
If possible, please report this problem to support at wolfram.com
describing in as much detail as possible what you were doing
when the problem occurred.
Segmentation fault"
If I open a notebook which has previously-saved 3D plots in it, these can
be successfully resized or rotated, but any attempt to produce new plots
(including the examples in, for example, Plot3D's documentation, or that of
Graphics3D) make the frontend and kernel crash. As far as I can tell, no other
programs are having problems with the setup.
A reinstall of Mathematica makes no difference.
Running "math" from the command line is successful, and I can produce 3D
plots there, and export them to (say) PDFs; these render correctly.
I did a recent dist-upgrade (Debian of my linux system, and suspect this is
what did it, and it's probably a frontend issue, but don't know where else to
look. Can anyone suggest something?
Cheers,
Curtis O.
