thank you very much, I followed your instructions and have installed
the nvidia driver from Nvidia, and now my application can run and the
window can be resized successfully.
I noticed that the new driver also replaced /usr/bin/libGL*** files,
I remember that those files are installed by mesa before, so it seems
that the new nvidia driver also contains opengl implementation
libraries.  Does it mean I should remove all the mesa packages from
debian and then reinstall nvidia driver?(I think removing mesa will
remove the libGL** files).
