We seem to have OpenGL problems again. Test case: in Mathematica, run:

Plot3D[Sin[x + y^2], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -2, 2}]

On a 745, running this displays a blank rectangle except while
manipulating the shape with the mouse. On a 755, the shape displays, but
it can't be continuously manipulated, and instead jumps to the final
position when the mouse is released.

If instead of using /usr/lib/libGL.so I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to /afs/athena/software/mesa/lib before launching Mathematica (a Mesa
release I installed a while back) on both machines the behavior is
correct.
