Hi,

Most likely you need to move the libraries shipped with the game
(libgcc, libstdc++ etc) out of the way to make sure it uses the system
libraries.

You can use the environment variable LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose to get more
information in cases like these.

I'm not really sure WHY this is necessary though, even new Linux games
ships broken like this.

Re: WebGL under debian, radeon driver

 Yes, I'm pretty sure. Compiz is accelerated, and so is Google Earth.
 Glxinfo says also so.
 How many fps do you reach ?

It's possible to use software rendering only in Firefox. I was thinking
that maybe it falls back to using this as a fail safe in case
accelerated rendering isn't possible. Anyway, that's just a guess.

Not sure about fps, didn't see a counter in the teapot demo, but it
seems fast enough.

  I think you still need an Xserver with pbuffer support (the one in
  debian experimental should do) and you're probably better off with
  really recent 3D driver - the 7.9 RC or straight from git.
 
 Xserver from experimental is uninstallable here (deps problem).

Yes, I recall needing to shoehorn it in. It's probably a better idea to
get up to date 3D drivers first and see if that's enough to get WebGL
working.

Sounds like you're only getting software rendering? I've had it working
(accelerated) with both Chrome and Firefox, but I haven't tried it with
r600 hardware yet.

 i've posted this because i don't want linux/xorg to have the worst
 support for webgl but if both chrome and firefox dev builds are
 failing (i've tested this on 2 different cards and did some research)
 most system with xorg will have no support for webgl.

Google Chrome also uses pbuffers (and framebuffer objects) for their
implementation.

With an Xserver patched for pbuffer support, WebGL in Chrome is working
fine, similar with Firefox with Kristian's patch [1] applied. 

So that's my experience with WebGL using the i965 driver.

Hi,

For WebGL in Firefox, it seems you need git master of the xserver, and a
patch for Firefox:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24093#c9

I'm not really sure what's required for WebGL in Google Chrome? (Adding
mesa-dev to the cc.)

 Dunno if there's any real good reason to CC us. Kristian nailed it on
 those bugs -- pbuffers weren't supported on the server side until
 recently, but now they are and they work fine. That Fx bug is pretty
 serious, as there's a fair number of drivers that have no multisampled
 configs and will fail with WebGL.
 
 I'm kind of glad I saw this, though, because it makes me feel a bit
 better about my failed attempt to test WebGL a few weeks ago. :3

I guess I was mostly curious about any experiences with Mesa and WebGL
in Chrome.

I only gave it a quick try a few days ago, but didn't get any further
than Couldn't enable WebGL - sorry or something similar.

Broken brightness/gamma in SDL

2010-03-25 Thread Sven Arvidsson
Hi,

Apparently Xorg 7.5 broke the brightness/gamma function[1] used in SDL,
leaving a lot of games too dark or too bright.

Can somebody who's familiar with this give the SDL devs a hand?

No, unfortunately it's still broken with 1.7.6.

I'm not sure about your specific cause (guess something is broken if you
cant use xrandr) but there's an open bug about having Xorg keep track of
the resolution so this situation doesn't happen:

There's a similar problem described in the ALSA bugtracker (I'm not sure

GNOME uses RandR to set the users preferred resolution on login. You
