googe stretched locations

with latest git from master (mesa/ddx/drm/linus 2.6.31-rc8) googlearth doesnt crash anymore.

it even shows the planet with weather correctly BUT when you start zooming to any location, the textures are stretched to "infinity and beyond" (tm) instead of being properly rendered.

see snapshot for details.

i did aditional tests.

if i activate "disable low-fallback impact" using driconf, i dont get garbled display  when zooming with googleearth, but the performance goes down hill (figures, since its doing its calculations using cpu).

maybe this helps? :P

using kernel 2.6.32-rc7 with latest git for mesa/ddx/drm with a radeon rs485 (evil card).

best regards

i can confirm exactly the same problem using kernel/mesa/atidriver/libdrm fresh from git as of today (kernel 2.6.32-rc7 + some more i think) on my "Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)"
Comment 3 Paulo Dias 2010-01-24 10:56:36 UTC
kernel 2.6.33-rc5, latest drm/mesa/ddx from git. same results, with .33 googleerath doesnt crash anymore with dmesg complaining of compressed textures, BUT the screenshot attached here still applies, GE is unusable as soon as you start zooming, textures get "stretched" and you cant see a thing.

... except that neither disabling kms nor disabling low-impact feedback did any difference.
