Bug#499580: mayavi2: rendering issues

2008-10-08 Thread Yaroslav Halchenko
Be careful though -- at least for me new tandem of packages is unusable
-- there is an issue with redrawing of windows in a remote VNC window --
it is really f...ed up. I think I saw smth like that before and that is
why I reverted back to stable version. I will inspect it closer this
evening when I get to that laptop and will file some additional
bugreports (not sure which part of X to blame though  ;-))


 Now that's a fantastic news.

 The only package in the upcomming Ubuntu that is not up to date enough is
 xserver-xorg-video-intel. I am going to ping the Ubuntu guys to see if
 they can confirm/infirm is the intel bug has vanished in the upcoming
 ubuntu, and if not we'll try to update this package.

 Thanks a lot for the info,
thank you ;-) I should have initially tried unstable X... heh heh

Bug#499580: mayavi2: rendering issues

2008-10-07 Thread Yaroslav Halchenko

 I am using xserver-xorg-core 1.4.2 and libgl1-mesa-dri 7.0.3. The
 versions that seem to fix this problem -- xserver 1.5.0 and
 libgl1-mesa-dri 7.1 are both available in debian/experimental, though
 It would be really awesome if you could try those and see if it fixes  
 your problem.  In that case we could recommend to people to use that  
 version when they report this problem -- many people suffer from this 
 bug.
it seems that indeed xserver is at fault... I had already 7.1 version of
mesa-dri installed (and had the issue). then I apt-get install
xserver-xorg-core=2:1.5.1-1 xserver-xorg=1:7.4~3
xserver-xorg-video-intel=2:2.4.2-1 xserver-xorg-input-kbd=1:1.3.1-2
xserver-xorg-input-evdev=1:2.0.3-2 xserver-xorg-input-mouse=1:1.3.0-2
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics=0.15.0+git20080820-1

and now mayavi2 seems to render fine

Also, was some explorer function removed from mayavi2 in the new
version?
Not sure.  Envisage plugins have changed so the explorer may not be  
exposed in the shell, however, I am not sure where the explorer is in  
the 3.x code base or if it works at all.  That was a Pyface/traits  
package that I did not write... :(


Okay, thanks. Should I ask on enthought-dev?


Yes, don't tag the message to be mayavi specific if not it could fall 
through the cracks.  Thanks!


cheers,
prabhu

 I am facing some rendering issues with mayavi2. Please look at this
 bug report:

 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=499580
 Could there be any issues with wxgtk2.8, because earlier I was using
 wxgtk2.6? BTW, if both the versions exist which one will be used by
 mayavi2?

 You almost definitely have an Intel GMA950 or similar card on your  
 machine.  There is a known bug in X/the intel driver that causes this.

 See this:

 from a message by Colin on enthought-dev.  It would be great if someone  
 with the problem could figure out if this is really a Xserver problem or  
 the intel driver problem and try and get this into Debian quickly.
