Minecraft: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only one LWJGL context ....

[Masquerade]

Hey there,

I am trying to get Minecraft to run on Maverick. I have sun-java6-jre installed.

When trying to run Minecraft through the browser, or the executable .jar, I get

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only one LWJGL context may be instantiated at any one time.

For further information, heres the log of the client:

      Minecraft has crashed!      
      ----------------------      

Minecraft has stopped running because it encountered a problem.

If you wish to report this, please copy this entire text and email it to support@mojang.com.
Please include a description of what you did when the error occured.

Got exactly the same error here, I think its something with the graphics drivers, maybe you check these first...

[Masquerade]

Ye, that was exactly the issue.

[alogghe]

Maverick and Minecraft were also giving me similar crashes but reverting the Nvidia proprietary driver to the older fixed it for me.

[Menehune]

Delete the players data file on the server.
Example: <minecraft path>\world\players\<player>.dat
The player will respawn with nothing.

If it is the graphics drivers, how do I fix it? I am still very new at this...

What was the resolution to this one - how is it fixed?
