problems seing labels in game

[internut]

Hi!
Great game,

i have a issue with the labels, all i see is a grey box where the names & guild should be, and to find out who they are i have to mark ppl.
se example here: http://internut.no-ip.org/pic/misc/screenshot2.png

im using Ati radeon 9800 pro (dual head)
amd 64 3500+
1 gb mem
Linux version 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic
Ati drivers version : 8.27.10

i tried diffrent settings in PS setup, but no change.
any sugestions?

Thanks

There are lots of issues with the label painting.   You could try typing   /redraw labels   but I just turn them off anyways now.  You're not alone.

I'm using an integrated video card and I do not have these issues... So must be an ATI problem

I have an integrated ATI and works fine.
I know its been said many times many ways.... update your drivers

[Induane]

I disagree.  ATI's latest drivers are known absolutely to break several entire lines of cards... read the release notes and educate yourself before trying to upgrade it.

[ThomPhoenix]

Normally yes, but Ati's last two drivers have been  by fixing some long standing bugs and addings support for X.org 7 and 7.1!

[Induane]

The last two drivers also completely broke all support for the XPRESS 200M series, and all other chips based onthe X300 chipset.

[LARAGORN]

All i can suggest is a driver rollback to 8.252
I couldnt use the latest because of an install issue, but this driver has worked very well for me.

I thought it was /repaintlabels or do both commands work?

[ThomPhoenix]

@ Induane: It's not a secret Ati cares more about uses of "real" videocards than about integrated ones. Your best bet for linux videocards of course is Nvidia.
@ Zorbels: It's /repaintlabels, the other one doesn't exist. If that doesn't work, you can also use "/repaintlabels force", which doesn't just repaint the labels, but completely recreates them.
