Description Paolo Ornati 2004-11-28 00:27:46 UTC

The problem is well described by the attached screenshots: playing tuxracer TUX becomes of a flat gray sometimes.

6.7.0 doesn't have this problem.

Reproducible: Always

Does something like this also happen with other games? It might be a tuxracer issue, instead of x11 issue...

Comment 5 Paolo Ornati 2004-11-30 02:54:08 UTC

I'm not a "big" player... IOW: the only fullscreen GL game I've installed is Tuxracer.

Now I've just tried "games-fps/cube" but I cannot see a similar problem.

What game should I try?

PS = I doubt it's a Tuxracer issue because it works fine with _ALL_ xfree / xorg versions I've tried: xorg-x11 6.8.0 is the exception.

Comment 6 Adam Jackson 2005-01-16 15:21:49 UTC

quite possibly fixed in 6.8.2, please try one of the RCs.

Comment 7 Paolo Ornati 2005-01-17 07:37:24 UTC

Yes!

I've just tried 6.8.1.902 and I'm not able to reproduce the problem any more :-)... so I mark this BUG as fixed.
