Hi I can't run Gtkradiant (http://www.qeradiant.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi) with the radeon driver and the following hardware/software:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] Libraries and driver from Debian testing (6.6.193-3 driver's version) Libraries and driver from Debian unstable (6.7.195-2 driver's version) The program crashes as soon as I try to use it, and the following is read in its console: Lighting mode requires OpenGL features not supported by your graphics drivers: GL_ARB_shader_objects GL_ARB_vertex_shader GL_ARB_fragment_shader GL_ARB_shading_language_100 After it crashes the following appears in the terminal: radiant.x86: vbo/vbo_split_inplace.c:97: flush_vertex: Assertion `max_index >= min_index' failed. Aborted I've been told in the Gtkradiant mailing list that it's a driver issue, specifically: "[...]older Radeon cards have only the ability to address up to 4096 vertices at a time [...] GTKRadiant is issuing more than this many vertices in one call. The hardware however has configurable base address for vertex arrays, and configurable index bias, this allows it to issue the large draw operation as several smaller ones that do not violate the limits of the hardware. That error indicates the code for splitting the operations into smaller ones, is broken. (All other drivers have to deal with this sort of hardware limitation transparently as well, it's not an application error)" And been encouraged to report this here. I would like to ask for confirmation that there's no workaround possible short of fixing code (which I have no idea about).
