Description
[http://sourceforge.net/p/ufoai/bugs/396 Item 396] imported from sourceforge.net tracker on 2013-01-28 18:18:28

Hi,

I'm running debian unstable (current), with the mesa
6.5.1 r300 drivers and xorg 7.1. After a few minutes
of play the the map portion of the geoscape basically
goes 'white'. (I'm using the rc 5 loki installer
package)

I've tried:
1. disabling / enabling all of the xorg radeon
driver 'optimizations'
2. playing with s3tc and other settings in driconf
3. Tried playing with the cvar flags
4. Tried in both windowed and fullscreen mode

I could have very well missed a critical setting.

I'm seeing a similar problem in missions, with
interface buttons and some textures. I'll file a
separate bug.

I'll attach a screenshot, here is a console dump:

Unfortunately the r300 driver that come with X.Org does not
seem to correctly handle/update textures in the game. The
only known solution is to install the proprietry binary ATI
drivers.

Has that been submitted upstream to dri or mesa devel? (I'm
the bug reporter)

I assume the guys working on the r300 driver know that it
isn't yet as capable as the proprietry drivers. There is a
remote possibility that this game does something odd when
initializing the graphics card... however my understanding
also is that the r300 driver is incomplete and a little
buggy at the moment (will hopefully improve). I can't see
any reason why this issue shouldnt be brought to the
attention of the r300 devs, unless they are already being
spammed with requests or similar bug reports.

I'm closing this issue for now (as invalid as the issue
seems to be with the r300 drivers in this case). If you
still have the r300 drivers installed can you try this test:
after starting ufo, go to the options menu and change the
resolution... (then optionally change it back to the
original settings). Report back if you still get texture
corruption while playing the game (the resolution change
resets a number of video driver settings which have
potential to fix the issue... if this works then it is
probably a bug in our code on initial startup).

PS: out of interest, do games like Nexiuz
http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/ work with the r300 drivers?
