Bug#502861: xorg: text occasionally misplaced / missing / wrong font colour
This problem disappeared when i switched from a display depth of 24 to a display depth of 16. This is for a laptop with intel 82830 graphics - sorry i forgot to update the bug report.

Unfortunately, blender still crashes before it gets going - but now the details given by 'bt full' in gdb refer to the radeon driver. I have attached the output from gdb.

Bug#446315: xserver-xorg-video-ati: crashes in R and Blender, and incomlete drawing of glut (opengl) wire objects
Ok, still got some 'make depends' warnings referring to missing stddef.h and stdarg.h files, but then it proceeded to compile without any obvious problems. Set environment variables and checked system was using 7.0.2 using glxinfo. No discernable change in the blender crash bug. Incomplete drawing problems persist too - i'll start a separate bug report for that one. Thanks for your help in helping me test this. Alex Brice Goglin wrote: Alex Sheppard wrote: But when i try to compile ('make linux-dri-x86') i get a load of errors. I guess i have some headers missing but i can't figure out what packages i need to install to provide them. Error messages attached. Is there any systematic lookup to find what package supplies what headers? Feel free to point me to a helpful forum or something if you don't have time to help in person. You should be able to get all required header packages with: apt-get build-dep mesa Also, if you feel like building mesa is too long, you can restrict the list of drivers to build with something like: make linux-dri-x86 DRI_DIRS=r300 "LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo" will tell you which driver you need (r300_dri.so if you have a r300). Also, there is no real need to install the newly built lib. You can keep them in the build tree and do: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= export LIBGL_DRIVERS_DIR= with the path to the directory containing the new libGL.so, and the path to the newly built DRI driver (r300_dri.so or so). As earlier, use "export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose" to get some debugging output from glxinfo and check that it is using the correct lib and driver. If you're lost/bored by all this, you might want to wait a couple days/weeks until we upload mesa 7.0.2 into Debian :) Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#446315: xserver-xorg-video-ati: crashes in R and Blender, and incomlete drawing of glut (opengl) wire objects
Hi Brice, I finally managed to get the output from gdb (having installed libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg as suggested - sorry for such a long delay. Many times the crash when running in gdb would freeze my system - sometimes restarting X would work, other times having to just use the power button). This time i got lucky (i don't understand why the symptoms aren't exactly the same each time) and i copied the output to the attached file. Regards Alex P.S. Should i log the incomplete drawing of glut shapes as a separate bug? Brice Goglin wrote: alex wrote: Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.6.3-2 Severity: important Blender crashes before even getting started (segmentation fault). Can you catch a backtrace in gdb? Assuming the problem is in libgl1-mesa-dri as Michel said, you might want to install libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg, and enter 'bt full' in gdb once the crash occurred.
