Well English comprehension is not my first either    ;-) 
I did not realize you were quoting me, I thought (misread) that
as an compilation error general message.

SORRY.... 

Anyway, the advice stands; get the error messages combined with keywords
and go parsing (looking) through the sourcecode and/or googling, until
somethings looks worth investigation. {3D, zbuffer, <errors> etc>}

One only has to look here to realize Nvidia and ATI and Intel are
all making rapid changes, particulary related to 3D (which zbuffering)
is a big part of):

http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-surround-technology.html

From what I read Nvidia rapidly drops support for cards whilst
adding new features to the drivers, which only work with newer
card offerings.

Maybe try an old nvidia driver?

Sorry, Nvidia  is in not my area of responsibility nor pleasure....
