Bug 178425 – media-gfx/blender hangs display when trying to rotate with middle mouse button

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wojciech Potentas 2007-05-13 20:18:09 UTC]

My configuration is: Athlon 64 on NVIDIA NForce 3 Ultra, Radeon 9100.
xorg-x11-7.2, open source radeon drivers, AiGLX. Beryl is present but not enabled, window manager is KWin. But error also occurs in fluxbox.
 Error is that blender hangs display when trying to rotate blenders visual when dragging it with middle mouse button. It rotates about 90 degrees and hangs the display, so I can't change tty or workspace nor kill X-Server with CTRL-ALT-Backspace.
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start xorg-x11
2.start blender
3.try to rotate it's visual by middle mouse button

Actual Results:  
 Display hangs.

Expected Results:  
 Normal behaviour of blender.

It also hangs when Beryl is enabled.

 The same thing is going when I'm trying to rotate workspace with new Emerald-0.2.1 enabled (I upgraded it) - computer hangs. Flight Gear Flight Simulator sometimes hangs too - but it depends on chosen aircraft. Maybe this is the same bug. What's interesting there is no background on other workspaces with old Emerald, as same with new Emerald turned on, but this is I think - another issue. I do not exclude hardware problem, and I'll try to check it on another graphic card as possible.

looks like a 3d driver issue..
