This problem happens also on other radeon hardware, the patch I've applied works and is tested only on r300 cards, this should be applied to other cards families too; follow the freedesktop bug to get this... There's also an r200 patch in WIP status.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: libgl1-mesa-dri - Upgrading to Mesa 6.5.2 some apps (like Globs and Second Life client) - shows a black window (screen) without showing its content (that seem to - run well, also if it isn't visible); some of them (SecondLife) could be - seen anyway after a window resize as a workaround. + Upgrading to Mesa 6.5.2 on radeon driver some apps (like Globs and + Second Life client) shows a black window (screen) without showing its + content (that seem to run well, also if it isn't visible); some of them + (SecondLife) could be seen anyway after a window resize as a workaround. Anyway Michel Dänzer pushed a patch to fix this; All is referenced and solved here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9876 Applying the attached patch to the Ubuntu Sources fixes the bug for all the apps I tested. Please, add this to the ubuntu package, I've attached also a patch file showing diff to integrate this into the ubuntu mesa sources. ** Summary changed: - SecondLife, GL.O.B.S. and other GL apps have a Black Window - Patch available + SecondLife, GL.O.B.S. and other GL apps have a Black Window on Radeon drivers - Patch available ** Description changed: Binary package hint: libgl1-mesa-dri - Upgrading to Mesa 6.5.2 on radeon driver some apps (like Globs and - Second Life client) shows a black window (screen) without showing its - content (that seem to run well, also if it isn't visible); some of them - (SecondLife) could be seen anyway after a window resize as a workaround. + Upgrading to Mesa 6.5.2 on radeon driver (r200, r300...) some apps (like + Globs and Second Life client) shows a black window (screen) without + showing its content (that seem to run well, also if it isn't visible); + some of them (SecondLife) could be seen anyway after a window resize as + a workaround. - Anyway Michel Dänzer pushed a patch to fix this; All is referenced and - solved here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9876 + Anyway Michel Dänzer pushed a patch to fix this on r300; All is + referenced and solved here: + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9876 Applying the attached patch to the Ubuntu Sources fixes the bug for all the apps I tested.
