[opensource-dev] [Linux] Frequent crashes with last Viewer 2 beta release

[Michael Dickson]

I was seeing frequent crashes with Emerald and 10.04 w/Nvidia. I traced
it to an issue with the nVidia driver not correctly managing the fan and
the GPU overheating. It's been reported as an issue with the recommended
drivers in 10.04. I downgraded to the older nVidia driver and the
problem cleared up.
