Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mesa-utils
I have installed the proprietary fglrx drivers, and they are working correctly. The command fglrxinfo is correct, but glxinfo is incorrect: $ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 OpenGL version string: 2.1.7412 Release $ glxinfo | head -n5 name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 glxinfo is reporting the vendor as SGI. This is a bug because some applications (e.g. flash) use the glx vendor string to determine if hardware support is available (http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/05/flash_uses_the_gpu.html). If the output of the vendor string is SGI, it assumes that hardware support is not enabled. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 mesa-utils version Installed: 7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3 ** Affects: mesa-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- glxinfo glx vedor string incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247925 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
