[Second Life 3.7.17 viewer on Ubuntu 12.04 continually crashing on log in.]

I solved it with new drivers.

Rest assured I have a new 8GB Ram 2.6Ghz quad core laptop arriving soon.

The only reason I am using LL is that firestorm was so laggy (and LL was far less so).

And I am using 12.04 as I prefer stability over shiny things - I will get to 14.04 sometime later this year I think.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04, and when trying to log in today (4/10) I got a compulsory update to 3.7.17, which keeps crashing on login. Most of the time I can't even get past the welcome screen, but when I do the view is crorrupted - all testures show as chequer-boards of various sizes (this includes ground, buildings, clothing and people), and the viewer crashes shortly afterwards.

I was able to log in fine yesterday (3/10, up until around 3am GMT), using very 3.5.1 (I think), but it prompted me to install a mandatory update - hence getting 3.7.17 this morning.

This could be a graphics issue - but it worked fine on 3.51, and the knowledge base post on graphics cards says nothing about Linux.
