rviz segfaults on cturtle, test machines (ros-pkg ticket #4240)

[hershwg]

We've been running rviz on this test machine before. As far as I know, I haven't changed the graphics driver or configuration.

I ran the visualizer, and got this error:
{{{
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Ogre::InternalErrorException'
what(): OGRE EXCEPTION(7:InternalErrorException): Cannot create GL vertex buffer in GLHardwareVertexBuffer::GLHardwareVertexBuffer at /u/wgtest/production_qual_trees/2010-06-28/stacks/visualization_common/ogre/build/ogre_src_v1-7-1/RenderSystems/GL/src/OgreGLHardwareVertexBuffer.cpp (line 46)

}}}

Then I tried running rviz, and it repeatedly segfaulted. I upgraded to ROS 1.1.12. Before the upgrade, everything worked (I think).
visualization: 1.1.2
visualization_common: 1.1.2

I got it to drop a core, here's the back trace:

[watts] Josh, any ideas? How can I tell if this is a graphics problem or how to fix it? rviz works fine on the same software on a machine in the next room. It looks like it's crashing while trying to tear down.

[watts] Let me take a look at the graphics drivers on that machine.

[hershwg]

[jfaust] Looks like a driver/card issue if it's on startup with no inputs.

[hershwg]

[watts] I haven't had a chance to test that rviz works, but we identified a problem with the nvidia drivers when using the RT kernel. We have a script that can patch them manually. Thanks a lot, this should work.
