History/Sky background texture problem

[ladrilho]

This happens when I'm switching from EL to other windows and then back to EL.

 

I have an ati mobility radeon 9700 and I'm using the opensource driver(r300).

 

It seems the sky is only corrupted where I was standing when the history corruption happened.

 

I moved a bit to the said when taking the sky screenies.

 

Feel free to ask any extra information you may need.

Well, I don't really see what we could do about it or we would have to reload all textures each time you switch from a window to another which is not going to happen I think.

 

First, try to use the official ATI driver if it supports your card because it is much better. The default ati/radeon driver on linux sucks.

Second, the sky texture is a bitmap of 1024x1024 pixels so maybe your card/driver has some difficulties to handle it. You can try to reduce it to 512x512 to see if it solves your problem. The textures used are called cloud*.bmp and they are in the textures folder.

Known problem, won't be fixed any time soon (unless if someone figures out why it happens).
