Hi Ben,

Yeah, integrated graphics generally don't fare well with FBOs or pbuffers. Hopefully it shouldn't crash though, it should tell you it's not supported and exit...

    osgprerender cow.osg --pbuffer.

This results in segmentation fault. Even without the --pbuffer option it results in segmentation fault.

So yes sorry for bothering you much Rob. It is not a osgdem bug. However, it will be great if you can suggest a workaround or solution.

Does Mesa support pbuffers or FBOs? It would be completely software, thus slow, but it might work...

osgdem really needs a graphics context to do some of its processing, and in order not to pop up a graphics window it uses pbuffer rendering, so the only other alternative would be to get a better graphics card (though that looks like a laptop so you would probably need to run osgdem on another machine that has one).

Correct. This is a laptop. My desktop with a GeForce graphics card just broke a week ago :( and I'm too busy to fix it. But this is completely off-topic.

Instead I think I'll just try to hack with the newest release of graphics driver but I really doubt it'd work.

The entire X11/GLX stack is very confusing btw.

Thanks,
