Title: nvidia-169.09 causes vertical stripes on some textures
Post by: rtrentc on January 28, 2008, 04:47:56 am

System -- Gentoo
Kernel 2.6.22
Video Card Nvidia Geforce 5200 FX

When using nvidia-drivers (kernel module and glx) version 169.09 I get vertical stripes in some textures and in the displays of magical effects.
nvidia-drivers (kernel module and glx) version 100.14.19 works just fine.

Might be that the driver expects a newer version of the cg library than PS ships with? 

http://developer.download.nvidia.com/cg/Cg_2.0/2.0.0010/Cg-2.0_Dec2007_x86.tar.gz (http://developer.download.nvidia.com/cg/Cg_2.0/2.0.0010/Cg-2.0_Dec2007_x86.tar.gz)

Try grabbing that lib, make a backup of the cg lib in your libs directory in the planeshift directory, and copy the newer cg library in there. That link gets you version 2.0, PS ships with 1.5 - might be worth a shot.

i tried moving both libCg.so and libCgGL.so libs into my /planeshift/libs folder - magical effects still bugged.

have you tried building ps from source?

Nah.. I just installed 169.09 few weeks ago, noticed that issue and fell back to 100.14.19. Now I gave Induanes suggestion a shot and tried it out - and am back on 100.14.19 again now.
I never had a look into building PS from sources as I never had a need for it.

Hi Velh Krome,
give a try to the ebuilds before compiling from source :)
see you

Thanks Loux,
but I'm running Debian Sid here.

Cheers, Velh

I'd give compiling a shot too.  I think the PS bin is linked against cg1.5 so dropping in the newer version might not have mattered if the new driver was looking for something not offered in the 1.5 cg lib.  I'd try compiling with cg 1.5 first, and if that doesn't work try recompiling it all with the 2.0 cg library.  If the issue is the same there on both compiles then likely the issue is a driver bug.
