I think I either have a problem with the Intel driver or maybe with the
Mesa3d library or … something else maybe. My configuration is as
follows:
Intel 965 GM
OpenSuse 11.1
KDE4(3d desktop effects activated)
Driver: 1.4 Mesa 7.2 DRI
First of all, I can clearly notice a strange behavior of all OpenGL
screensavers, as well in some apps using OpenGL(like Space Simulator).
Second, I tried to install Google Earth - it freezed my laptop during
the start, after trying to visualize the picture of the Earth. Third, I
added
within my xorg.conf - it helped, so now Google Earth doesn’t lock my
whole system but continues to run.
Unfortunately at least 80% of the textures are either blank or black!!!
Every piece of software which uses OpenGL looks scrambled. The icons
within the Suse TRAY disappeared. I think it’s something with the Mesa
and DRI, since everything worked fine with OpenSuse 10.3, please help!!!
Thnx a lot but that solutions helps partly, seems like now it’s not
necessary to add
Option “AccelMethod” “exa”
Option “MigrationHeuristic” “greedy”
Option “ExaNoComposite” “false”
manually within the xorg.conf to avoid the system freeze. However, I
still experience the problems with the black, missing or scrambled
(OpenGL) polygons within the picture of the Earth.
I’m also still experiencing that problem.
A workaround is to set the desktop effect of kde 4 to xrender in stead
of opengl. But that type of rendering is a lot slower and behaves
unexpectedly with some desktop effects, like wobbly windows.
