Weird, then I would not expect it to be an OpenGL issue either, although it could easily be drawing them slightly differently. BTW, I assume it is expected that foobillard generates thousands of lines of debug output for a default invocation, at present, or have I broken something locally? I'm also quite unsure of what the balls should look like. When I played it (successfullly) some time ago, the balls had images on them, such as stripes and numbers. In this setup the balls are featureless colored sphers, albiet with some lighting suggestions. I actually have two computers with a nearly identical setup, having done a new install with the same packagelist, followed by a hand-diff of the things I cared about in /etc, and a wholesale import of /usr/local, /home, and so forth. The major likely differences are: - The new machine uses the unproven intel i965 opengl stuff, although it is working fairly well in the main here (mostly there are probablems changing screen mode/resolution). - The new machine is "amd64". A core 2 duo, to be precise. Any thoughts on how to get more information on foobillard's bitmap loading behavior? -josh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
