[Therion] Loch 5.3.8 not displaying models on Debian wheezy

[Andrew Atkinson]

It is not hardware, again my only real memory of exact occurrence is 
going back through the mails before the summer.


Back in June on ubuntu 11.04 it stopped when I went to 5.3.3.

Then you (wookey) built 5.3.7 for debian, so I moved to debian, but with 
no luck. I was on the noveau driver then. 5.3.8 appeared quickly 
afterwards, but this did not help and I ran out of time to move from 
noveau driver.

Well now I have had the time to install the NVIDIA drivers, but has not 
helped. And I am reasonably sure that aven did not work either, and it 
was the upgrade to 1.2 that sorted that, but I would not bet my life on it.

thanks

Andrew
