The reason I asked which driver is because of the nVIDIA proprietary
driver...

If the Mesa drivers get updated and replace the nVIDIA specific video
OpenGL drivers, this sort of crash can occur.

If you are not using the legacy drivers, you will want to try upgrading. 
(The new drivers do not have this problem, according to the release
notes.)  If not, then just rebuild and reinstall the drivers and see if it
fixes the problem.

I don't know how the Livna package handles this problem.  I do not use the
Livna packages.  I just rebuild from the nVIDIA installer/build script.
