Description

Created attachment 133645 glxinfo output

I wrote a custom graphic engine as a school project and tested it on different platforms; it works everywhere (both nVidia and AMD) with binary drivers but triggers a whole system crash (only the mouse cursor remains responsive) on MESA + Nouveau.

I am testing it with Ubuntu 17.10 daily build (kernel version 4.12) that supports OpenGL 4.3 (which is required) on my nVidia card, a GT 740. The full source code is available at https://github.com/TheBrokenGod/OmegaEngine and includes a makefile for simple compilation.

The engine executes some complicated shaders (contained in Source.cpp) in order to allow order-independent transparency through linked lists of fragments.
