I have updated my whole system to the latest on the official repositories: * linux-image-2.6.15-26-686 version 2.6.15-26.46 * xserver-xorg-core version 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.1
and downloaded from ubuntu.compiz.net * xserver-xorg-driver-i810 version 1:1.6.0-0ubuntu3 as suggested. * Celestia runs extremely slowly: Jupiter rotates very jerkily, and moving with mouse or cursor takes about 1s before it updates. When I run celestia-gnome from the command line, it reports ERROR! sizeof(I830DRIRec) does not match passed size from device driver libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs. libGL error: InitDriver failed libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering render path: 1 * Torcs starts OK, but crashes before you see any of the race track. It reports much the same: Visual Properties Report ------------------------ Compatibility mode, properties unknown. ERROR! sizeof(I830DRIRec) does not match passed size from device driver libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs. libGL error: InitDriver failed libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering freeglut (/usr/lib/torcs/torcs-bin): Unable to create direct context rendering for window '/usr/lib/torcs/torcs-bin' This may hurt performance. and, after the crash WARNING: ssgLoadTexture: Cannot determine file type for './(null)' OpenAL backend info: Vendor: OpenAL Community Renderer: Software Version: 1.1 Available sources: 1024 or more Available buffers: 1024 or more Dynamic Sources: requested: 1003, created: 1003 #static sources: 21 #dyn sources : 1003 torcs-bin: indirect_vertex_array.c:1359: __indirect_glTexCoordPointer: Assertion `a != ((void *)0)' failed. /usr/games/torcs: line 52: 6236 Aborted $LIBDIR/torcs-bin -l $LOCAL_CONF -L $LIBDIR -D $DATADIR $* The terrifying ERROR! sizeof(I830DRIRec) does not match passed size from device driver has been reported http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/05/msg01108.html So, the problem as originally described no longer happens :) but Celestia still does not work :( I do not know enough about the bug management policies in this forum to decide whether this issue should be closed or if I should raise a new issue, or if I should just wait for the debian fix to filter down into ubuntu.
