Is there any way to tell if the shaders are running? 3D acceleration works fine on my box with the open source X.org driver (which was not the case until fairly recently, it has matured a lot). I've never been that clear on how shaders work and my video card is an older one, maybe it lacks support for something?
FWIW, I have Material Shaders enabled in the Rendering Options dialog - otherwise the 3D clouds disappear completely. So it seems like at least some shader functionality is working. But the individual shader options such as Crop Texture, Water Reflection, etc. don't seem to do anything. Toggling them doesn't affect the display in any obvious way. > > * Thorsten > > > >>> Can anyone help with a 3D cloud issue?
