The test program linked above is supposed to write "hello" in white lines in an OpenGL window, but the window is blank. It works fine on: RH 7.2, debian/ppc 3.0, gentoo 1.4/x86 with the same library and XFree86 versions. xfree-4.2.1-r2 glut-3.7-r2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure you have glut installed 2. download the lecture1.c file above 3. cc -o lecture1 lecture1.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lm 4. ./lecture1 Actual Results: the window appears, without an error message, but is completely black. Expected Results: the window should appear with the word "hello" written in blocky white lines on a black background. machine is iBook2, G3 600Mhz with ATI Rage 128 mobility LF rev 2. relevant package versions: xfree-4.2.1-r2, glut-3.7-r2 emerge info: Portage 2.0.46-r12 (default-ppc-1.4, gcc-3.2.1, glibc-2.3.1-r2) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-ben3 ppc GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /etc/make.conf /etc/fstab /etc/group /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="oss xv jpeg nls mitshm gif mozilla png truetype gnome-libs gdbm berkdb slang arts tcltk java tcpd libwww ssl esd imlib oggvorbis qt motif readline -gpm X gtk gnome kde alsa cdr dvd opengl mikmod pam -pcmcia perl python sdl tetex ppc" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -mcpu=750 -mpowerpc-gfxopt -fsigned-char" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -mcpu=750 -mpowerpc-gfxopt -fsigned-char" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" MAKEOPTS="" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="ccache"
I can reproduce bug on ibook, don't get anything but works fine on x86
xfree 4.2.1 on ppc is incapable of doing DRI w/ radeon without heavy modifications. In debian I assume you have dri trunk installed. This is an upstream issue and won't be addressed by us. If you want to use DRI, try installing xfree-4.2.99.4 and xfree-drm I do have a build for dri-trunk for xfree 4.2.1, but due to its nature it was not (and wont be) released to public. Check http://cvs.gentoo.org/~gerk/ and look in experimnetal builds if you want this functionality. it is 100% unsupported. just a FYI this dri-trunk overwrites crucial parts of xfree. If you install this and remove it you will have to reinstall xfree as well. It is not needed for the 4.2.99.x (4.3) stuffs as dri-trunk was merged. Closing this as wont fix.
