Forgot the URL for the thread on Wings3D forums: http://p212.ezboard.com/fnendowingsmiraifrm1.showMessage?topicID=2607.topic This looks like another case of an application requiring large point sizes (making this NOTABUG), however edge highlighting may be a different problem. See also https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702. blender fixed this some time ago. Nevertheless, since you're using a r200-derived chip and not a r100-based one, try using mesa cvs / dri driver snapshot, the driver there supports large point sizes (the code in question was added recently and will not make it into xorg 6.9/7.0). Not sure if it would work, as far as I can tell wings3d uses a hint to set smooth points or not, I believe this gets ignored so hopefully it would work (the driver does not support large smooth point sizes). It works with the proprietary driver because this driver emulates large (smooth) point sizes by some means. This is completely optional driver behaviour and in no way necessary by the OGL spec. The vertex issue is definitely a duplicate of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702 But I'm not sure I'll have the courage to try CVS snapshot. I'll wait a few months. Thanks for the explanation.

I tried the CVS snapshots back in November, but it broke my X installation. IIRC, I wasn't able to start X after I installed the packages. I think it was a depency problem with my Fedora Core 4 installation, so I gave up. I have re-installed FC5 a few months ago, I should give Wings3D another try to see if it is fixed with the latest xorg packages. I tested it yesterday on the same computer with Fedora Core 5 and Xorg 7.0. Unfortunately, I saw the same symptoms as before: large vertices size still doesn't work in Wings with my Radeon 9000.

In fact, I'm not sure which version of xorg it is. It seems the numbering has changed in FC5, and is a bit confusing. I get: - xorg-x11-drivers-7.0-2 - xorg-x11-apps-7.0-1 - xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.fc5.5 - xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.8.0-1 ... |
