Description Stefan de Konink 2006-07-17 13:37:46 UTC
I'm using Blender on my iBook, but I have a problem with the OpenGL driver or maybe the platform I'm using Blender from. When selecting with the right mouse button the item doesn't get selected from the 3D view, but 'resizes' visually instead.

See attached screenshot.

Is it possible to use software instead of the hardware directly for one specific program?

Comment 3 Stefan de Konink 2006-07-17 14:17:23 UTC
Without DRI it looks working, but still the question howto disable dri for a specific application.
Comment 4 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2006-07-17 18:40:36 UTC
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriConf could be a solution (the one in portage is currently p.masked pending an update upstream)
Comment 5 Stefan de Konink 2006-07-17 20:54:13 UTC
Since Blender crashes X.org now without dri. And resulting in double free / corrupt glibc issues via MesaGL, I'm starting to think this isn't the solution for the issue at all.

Only one problem, how do you debug a crashing X server...
Comment 6 Christian Schmitt 2006-09-29 23:45:12 UTC
Does this issue occur with all versions of Blender?
Comment 7 Stefan de Konink 2006-10-05 08:21:43 UTC
I checked the previous two versions. I did not check the very last version currently in portage. But I suspect it is in the driver, because of other mysterious crashes.

I'm going to update my system totally then I'll report back.
Comment 8 Christian Schmitt 2006-12-16 01:14:30 UTC
I installed the very last version available in portage an the problem is gone.
Comment 9 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-16 04:57:44 UTC
Excellent.  Stefan, does this fix it for you?
Comment 10 Stefan de Konink 2006-12-16 05:00:55 UTC
I'll check now, and close the bug if it is fixed.
Comment 11 Stefan de Konink 2006-12-17 08:06:52 UTC
Checking for installed Python... got it!

Still some warning, and something things happening when the window is moved around. But I can select without problems. Fixed ;)
