Yes, that works fine! Thanks!

Perhaps I would have to upgrade other packages to make this work, however this is not important as the solution above works. What does dmesg|grep i915 say? - [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20060119 on minor 0 - I'm not sure when this problem was introduced, but the last time I used google-earth was around mid-february IIRC. Is there somewhere an archive of old versions so I can try which ones work? There's snapshot.debian.net. After playing with different old versions and none working I remembered that I changed something else too: My kernel. I upgraded from 2.6.19 to 2.6.20 some weeks ago. Booted 2.6.19 and everything worked again. Then I checked the diffs for i915 and they changed the vblank functions. So this is a problem with different versions of userland and kernel software. I'm sorry, that I didn't check the kernel earlier, but I didn't even think that it might be a kernel problem as xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting works with this kernel. Here a list what works and what doesn't: Works: - kernel 2.6.19 - kernel 2.6.20 with vblank_mode=0 - kernel 2.6.20 with xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting Works but not good: - kernel 2.6.20 with libs from experimental (see above) - kernel 2.6.20 with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 (slow) Does not work at all: - kernel 2.6.20 with libs from etch and no special settings I'll use the vblank_mode solution for now. I'm not sure if this bugreport should be closed or kept open. Thank you for your help! Regards, Hermann -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

That's a bug related to fog which has been fixed upstream in git in the
meantime.

We should keep it open for now as it might be a genuine bug in
xserver-xorg-video-i810. Can you try rebuilding it with the attached
patch to see if that helps with the new kernel? Please try both versions
of libgl1-mesa-dri, as I suspect this might fix the old version but
regress the new one, requiring another fix for the latter.

Please try both versions of libgl1-mesa-dri, as I suspect this might fix the old version but regress the new one, requiring another fix for the latter. You are right. This works with the old lib but not with new one. However it depends on the kernel version again: Kernel 2.6.19: -old lib: works -new lib: works but prints this error message: - do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly. Try running with LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH and LIBL_SYNC_REFRESH unset. - Kernel 2.6.20: -old lib: works -new lib: fails (error message + unusable slow) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Also, since no version of Debian ships the problematic combination of kernel, xf86-video-intel and Mesa, I'm not sure it's even worth doing anything about it in Debian packages.

With 2.6.20 the program is unusable slow. Ah, thanks for the clarification. I'm not entirely sure exactly where that difference comes from but have some ideas. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

XSF, what do you think? I agree with you on this one. We'll have to remember to close this bug when we get the next upstream release in to the archive. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
