I've managed to reproduce this bug, and done a workaround. I am using an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 card, and essentially, you have to disable "DRI" for the "radeon" driver.
My hardware: - Dell Inspiron 600m laptop - Processor Pentium M 725 1.60GHz Processor, 2MB L2-Cache - RAM 768MB - Graphics card ATI Mobility RADEON 9000 AGP 4X video graphics at 32MB My OS and drivers: - Distro Kubuntu Linux 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Kernel 2.6.31-16-generic - libgl1-mesa drivers (from official repositories as I don't know where to download and compile): - libgl1-mesa-dri - 7.6.0-1ubuntu4(i386) - libgl1-mesa-glx - 7.6.0-1ubuntu4(i386) Blender versions tried (downloaded from Blender site): - Blender v2.49b - Blender v2.5-alpha0 How to workaround this bug: 1. Put the attached xorg.conf as /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Actually the only effective line is the one that changes "DRI" to "false". 2. Restart X or reboot. 3. Run blender (it worked for both the versions I tried). 4. With DRI off, you may notice that windows are not drawn correctly, graphics are a little slower, etc. But Blender works. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf to be put as /etc/X11/xorg.conf to turn off DRI" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37213129/xorg.conf -- blender-bin crashed with SIGSEGV in GPU_state_init() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446632 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
