[sldev] JIRA: Blockers (crash after login)

[Able Whitman]

At least some of the crash-on-startup issues are related to certain ATI
video chipsets. In some cases, disabling vertex shaders seems to fix the
problem. For me, this issue only affects the WindLight firstlook viewer, and
disabling vertex shaders didn't help.

Of course, I tried the "update to the latest drivers" bit, but the latest
ATI drivers caused my XPSP2 system to bluescreen about every hour or so, and
even then, it didn't fix the WindLight viewer crash. Needless to say, I
reverted to the previous version :)

All of this is to say that I'd be cautious about lumping all the
crash-on-startup bugs together without first gathering some data that
indicates that they're similar in root cause, not just in repro.
