Public bug reported: I'm using kubuntu feisty with blender and there is something terribly wrong with the graphics drivers (as of the below "fact 3" I guess that the problem is in the MesaGL driver). I use a Matrox G550 graphics card.
Fact 1: Blender 2.41 works, but graphics drawing (window updating) is somewhat slow Fact 2: Blender 2.43 (fullscreen) from the ubuntu repos is fast, but locks up / freezes the entire desktop when multiple windows are present. E.g. when the render result window is opened. Just before the freeze I noticed that moving the render result window around caused the below main screen to mess up completely. Also the window moving was slow. The windowed version of blender 2.43 also freezes completely and has slow window moving, but here it is possible to close blender from the window manager instead of rebooting. Fact 3: Blender 2.44 has most of the same graphics drawing problems as 2.43. But: If I download the version with statically linked MesaGL [1] the graphics drawing works perfectly stable. However, it is slow as 2.41 was.
