Graphics corruption on a Mobile GM965/GL960 on Linux (Debian)

[ferdinand]

Hi,

When i play PlaneShift, i get a lot of graphics corruption. Wall's and floors are displayed on such a way that i can not see were i am standing. It is really hard to play the game that way :-) The responds and the frame rate are fine, that is no problem at all. I do not think it is a PlaneShift problem, but a opengl/mesa problem, but maybe someone had the same problems and knows how to fix this.

My configuration:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU  T7250 @ 2.00GHz
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

Operation system:
Debian Linux Unstable, kernel 2.6.26 (32bit)

Software versions:
PlaneShift 0.4.03 (32bit)
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.2-10
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.3.2-2+lenny5
libgl1-mesa-dri 7.2-1

Regards,
Ferdinand

I was wondering why only windows uses had problems ... i did not see this this forum 

Anyway, i added the mesa 7.2.1 to the "Intel DRI: Disable ARB_fragment_program" rule, changed the driconf settings but that fixes nothing:

    <rule description="Intel DRI: Disable ARB_fragment_program">
      <conditions fulfill="all">
        <regexp string="renderer" pattern="Mesa.*Intel" />
        <conditions fulfill="one">
          <regexp string="glversion" pattern="Mesa 6\.5\.." />
          <regexp string="glversion" pattern="Mesa 7\.0\.." />
          <regexp string="glversion" pattern="Mesa 7\.2.*" />
        </conditions>
      </conditions>
      <applicable>
        <usecfg>noafp</usecfg>
      </applicable>
    </rule>

I do not have graphics lag but graphics corruption, or is my english that bad and does that mean the same ?

well one possible issue is that you are not using a graphics card, just on board graphics and seen lots of funky graphics when those have been used instead of a dedicated card.

I've downgraded to Mesa 7.0.3-7, that was the previous version, but that fixes nothing.

... but when i tested the difference in ppracer, this old version gives about 25% more frames per second, so i stay with this version.

I'm using a laptop, so i do not have a choice....
