ATI Radeon HD5470 rendering problem [NEW]

Postby Chrison » Mon Oct 11, 2010 2:00 am

Awhile ago, I had the usual incorrect rendering problem with my ATI Radeon graphics display that was reported and fixed in this thread:

http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=8316

Recently, everything stopped working. If I uninstall Catalyst and use the generic display driver, FG 1.9.1 runs but VERY slowly (framerates of 2-3 fps). If I install Catalyst, both FG 1.9.1 and FG 2.0 die with the following error messages:

And here's a backtrace on FG 2.0

I have tried these Catalyst driver version that worked before but give the above error now: 10.4 and 10.8. I also tried Catalyst 10.9 (never tried it before) and 10.5 (didn't work before), and they both died with the above messages. Some Google research seems to indicate this is an OpenSceneGraph problem, but I can't find a solution so far. I'm using the latest (April 2010) version (2.8.2) of OpenSceneGraph.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? Here's my system specs:

Acer Aspire 5741G laptop
Intel Core i5 processor 430M
2.26GHz, 3MB L3 cache
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics
4GB DDRIII memory
Fedora Linux 12 (kernel 2.6.32.21-168.fc12.x86_64)

Any help or suggestions will be most appreciated!

Thanks!

Regards,

Chris

UPDATE: Just for kicks, and because didn't have anything better to do, I decided to install Ubuntu and see what happened. So, I installed the latest-and greatest Ubuntu 10.10. NO problems! FG 1.9.1 works flawlessly and my framerates are back to 60 plus.

So, although I have been with Fedora for many years, and that's the Linux distribution I prefer, I guess this is "bye bye" to Fedora and "hello" to Ubuntu!

If anyone finds a solution for Fedora please let me know as I'll go back to it if I can get FG to run properly.

Thanks!

Regards,

Chris

Presumably OSG is newer in ubuntu than in fedora. So the solution would be to upgrade :wink:
