[questioneer]

I remember mesa get some fixes for them and they worked fine on some hardware. I'd suggest to file a detailed bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mesa so that developers can have a look at it.

Hi, just cut and paste Xorg.0.log1 to the URL above. Just have to connect the drive to another Ubuntu install and fish out the log, should have thought of it before.

Thanks.

Where are the links to your logs

Try updating xserver-xorg-video-nouveau to 0.0.16+git1109021401.169512~gd~n (it should take some hours before the build is ready). I disabled a couple of old Ubuntu patches that should be no longer needed.

llvmpipe on virtual machine

Hi, great stuff oibaf!

I cannot get llvmpipe/swrast going on an amazon virtual machine - that in itself might be out of scope for this thread.
However out of curiosity, I can get package libgl1-mesa-swx11 working that replaces libgl1-mesa-glx. Is there a similar method for llvmpipe?
The error is simply

$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 glxinfo | grep renderer
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

However this used to say Mesa X11 with libgl1-mesa-swx11
Using ubuntu 11.04
thx
PS: donation if possible

Dunno what may be the problem. I'd suggest asking on mesa-dev.

Unigine on Radeon HD4250

Hi!
I am trying to run Heaven and Tropics demos on HD4250 with open-source drivers. I am using iobaf drivers but none is working correctly.
Hevaen starts, but textures are missing. Tropics does not start and it says:

My glxinfo:

Also FrozenByte games are missing textures.

Apparently you are not using my PPA with the game:

Engine::init(): clear video settings for "Gallium 0.4 on AMD RS880 2.1 Mesa 7.10.2"

glxinfo correctly detect it:

OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.12-devel (git-4c84fbe natty-oibaf-ppa)

Are you on a 64 bit architecture? If yes you should also update the 32 bit mesa (I am on 32 bit so I can't help, I know it should be easier on oneiric, but my packages are still natty-only).
