Hi, I've been experiencing serious tearing in compiz when screen is painted only partly. Either "Sync To Vblank" option in compiz doesn't work or copying repainted parts from backbuffer to frontbuffer is too slow. And since many people rely on driver's implementation of Sync to Vblank, it would be optimal to always use glXSwapBuffers. This can be accomplished via keeping up-to-date copy of frontbuffer in backbuffer and painting updates over it. My patch (swap-buffers-and-c...

SimCity 4 has a lot of problems of its own that cause it to Crash to the Desktop quite often. However, the failure to provide more than one back buffer makes it hard to run large cities, and has gotten past annoyance for me, at least. Here is my latest log, from initiation of the game to the point where I finally killed it because the graphics had gone crazy again. My system has MB of graphics

...39;s say a privileged user (root) logs on, edit a sensitive file (e.g, a file containing a password, running vipw, etc) .. then runs clear and logout. Then anyone can press the scroll-lock command, scroll back up and read the sensitive information.. Isn't "clear" ment to clear the backbuffer instead of printing a full screen of returns? If it does, I'm not sure how that would effect a user running "clear" on a pty (telnet, sshd, screen, etc) .. Best regards, Jesper Wallin

OK, I have a basic blit demo working (thanks to Alex Fenton for his reply, which I finally saw). However, there''s a great deal of "tearing" on the screen - flickering grey lines in the black background. It looks like the blit isn''t always complete when the screen refreshes. Can anyone look at this and tell me what I might be doing wrong? Any help would be most

Hello All, I have a big problem with Wine 1.1.23. When i want to install a game, Wine crash directly. Look at this screen : http://www.hiboox.fr/go/images/auto-moto/error,768f0a45c230b776fc0fcc47fb88566d.png.html I have an ATI like graphic card, this is the problem? I saw this possibily on other topic. PS: Sorry for my english, i'm french [Wink]

Hello everyone I would like to know how AA works in wine, i.e. if I turn on AA in any game it wont work, the only option is to force it with nvidia-settings > override application settings. This does only work in backbuffer mode, trying to force AA in the FBO mode will crash the game or I just get a black screen. How can I use AA in FBO mode ? Is this option not introduced in wine yet ? I'm using 1.1.26 and FBO works great for all games here but I would like to turn on AA. For example: I run Red Alert 3 or Fear 2...

Hi, I am trying to get Call of Duty 1 and Two Worlds working through wine. I have searched a lot, and all I could find was that S3TC is not available in the open source driver, and to me it seems that this is why they do not start. I have tried both games with the fglrx drivers, cod1 works fine, two worlds has graphical issues, which are probably related to the shaders or something like that(?),

...nly playable inside a virtual desktop. If I run it outside a virtual desktop, I can't even get past the login screen and the music stutters. Inside the virtual desktop, I only get around 10-12 fps. I've found as infernix on the "Diablo 3" app page has, that if I run wine with the backbuffer as the render target instead of fbo, it greatly increases framerate (up to 30-35), but I get the same visual error (his screenshot below). tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ay7wcz&s=6 Why would the game only function in a virtual desktop? What's different about it? Is there a known performance is...

Hi, I just tried to install Civ4 1.74 according to the notes on its appdb page (using the new 1.1.10 Debian 5.0 packages), but whenever I try to run the game, I get this: matt at hayashi:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Firaxis Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 4$ wine Civilization4.exe fixme:service:QueryServiceObjectSecurity 0x141140 4 0x141828 0 0x32ef30 - semi-stub

Please configure the application to use double buffering(=1 back buffer) if possible and the how-to for this game says to go to

hi there, i'm trying to play oblivion, the game installs and run fine but there's still some minor problems. in nature (woods, mountains..), here and there, objects and texture seem to be missing.. kind of like if i used "noclip" and walking though objects.. so at time i can see though parts of a mountains, or run into a big rock , i cannot move forward any further but i cannot

...reduction is that when you're on your shiny new Riva TNT with 16MB of VRAM, you don't want to go crazy allocating all that to a pinned fbcon - almost half of that would go to a single 32bpp 1600x1200 buffer, more for 1920x1200. You want to be able to have at least a few fb-sized buffers for backbuffer rendering, etc. The specific limits could probably use tweaking - I think they only consider VRAM size, not the fb size. I guess 8bpp worked prior to the change you bisected though, so we should figure out what we did wrong in the new code. -ilia

...the menu has some broken colours on its borders, but that is not serious. The big Problem are the letters! You cannot read anything. I changed several settings: Code: bDoImageSpaceEffects=0 Code: bUseRefractionShader=0 e.g. remove the fonts completely. Registry settings like fbo, pbuffer and backbuffer also do not have any effect. Bloom and HDR are also working perfectly, but the fonts stay the same: unreadable. I checked the appDB and google but wasn't lucky, could somebody please help me on this?
