Just ugraded my Ubuntu box with an ATI Radeon 9000 (RV250) to 9.10. The desktop flickers, windows leave trails when moved, and menus/windows are not cleaned off the desktop when closed. All due to AMD/ATI lack of OpenGL support; well documented on Ubuntu forums.
Needless to say, running Blender is hopeless, and there is no way we can fix it that I can think of. ---------------- Sent by Roger Wickes for intended recipient.

If you have anything ATI specific you want me to test just throw it at me. Also i made some observations using the new sculpt of which you might be well aware but i'll list them anyway. * Simplified view navigation works fine. The only problem i have personally is that it should use the preview resolution from the multires modifier instead the first resolution. This aids navigation if high res mesh differs from the lowest res much. * View navigation is much smoother in sculpt mode then in object mode with a mesh with a multires modifier. A 1.5 million verts mesh in object mode (preview res maxed out!) has the same impact as a 6 million verts mesh in sculpt mode. * Triple buffering works fine here and is speeding up menu drawing nicely, when drawing the 3dview becomes slow, compared to overlap. I didn't test full redraw but don't expect anything glorious so ... * In textured view port shading the view of the geometry isn't updated at all. Switching to solid updates it. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
