Description Chris Rankin 2007-04-05 14:48:43 UTC
I am running Mesa 6.5.3-got on Linux 2.6.19.7-SMP-PREEMPT, dual P4 Xeon HT, Radeon 9200, and the reflections on the sides of these flying toasters don't look right to me. (P.S. This also happens with a Radeon 7000 card that I have in a different machine.)

The reflections on these sides of the toasters seem oddly geometrical, although the other sides look OK.

The reflections look OK from this side.

Strange happenings with R100 as well.

The toasters with the radeon_dri.so module (Radeon 7000, R100) flash brown for some reason.
Comment 5 Chris Rankin 2007-04-18 12:51:53 UTC
The problem is still happening with Mesa-git. It is also a lot more noticeable with R100 based hardware, because the toasters are constantly flashing brown.
Comment 6 Michel Dänzer 2007-04-18 23:16:42 UTC
I suspect these are separate issues. Do they go away with either driver if you run the app with the environment variable tcl_mode=0?

My R100 card doesn't have TCL hardware in the first place, so I don't see how this could help. And when you say "environment variable", do you mean a LIBGL_DEBUG value, or are you really meaning a setting in my .drirc file(s)?

I get the brown flashing too with a radeon 9000 if tcl_mode is set to 0.
With sw mesa, no brown flashing happens, but the reflections just look the same as far as I can tell.

The toasters flash brown on my R200 as well, with tcl_mode = 0. (It was 1 originally.)

Comment 10 Chris Rankin 2007-04-26 16:42:40 UTC
git Mesa still has flashing-brown flying toasters on my R200 with tcl_mode=0 (software TCL).

Mass version move, cvs -> git
