GL corruption / non disply using XFree DRI / Mesa

[J0wn]

Hi,

 

After updating as instructed the GL display for certain objects is corrupted.

 

Basically here is a small lis of whats going on ..( Roofs of some buildings not displayed . Mountains / rock area's missing sections . Tents in DP have sections missing . textures in some areas incorrect or just not there ( Black floor ).. cape on player shimmers / neck part dissapears.

 

I have 2 screenshots if any wants to take a look ( grabbed with gimp ) ...

 

 

Here are the details for my system

 

Slackware 10.2 kernel 2.4.32

 

OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel® 845G 20041217 x86/MMX/SSE2

OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 6.2.1

 

Hope this helps ..

 

Regards ...

I guess this is what your getting:

It was solved by getting a real/better video card (in the above instance, moving from ATI to nVidia).

 

Looks like your GPU card is onboard?

Yeah thats very close to what im seeing ...

 

and yes this is onboard being a laptop. So any idea why its doing it?

 

games like Quake 3 etc etc run great and ive had good experiences with other OSS stuff eg Neverball.

I think it has something to do with the driver/card having crappy OpenGL implementations. You could attempt upgrading your drivers to see if that works, but I wouldn't bet my house on it.

Would'nt be a good idea .. as latest dri / drm is being used ... Ive just taken a look at the Mesa3d page seems there have been alot of bug fixes for mesa 6.4. will have to wait for this to be merged into Xfree dri .. ( Will post if i see fixes ) ..

I solved that problem in my system disabling compiled_vertex_array detection in gl_init.c (I simply pasted a have_compiled_vertex_array=0; after detection, around line 580)
