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?

Without DRI it looks working, but still the question howto disable dri for a specific application.
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriConf could be a solution (the one in portage is currently p.masked pending an update upstream)
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...
Does this issue occur with all versions of Blender?
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.
I installed the very last version available in portage an the problem is gone.
Excellent. Stefan, does this fix it for you?
I'll check now, and close the bug if it is fixed.
Checking for installed Python... got it! *********************************WARN_ONCE********************************* File r300_render.c function r300Fallback line 428 Software fallback:ctx->Line.SmoothFlag *************************************************************************** Try R300_SPAN_DISABLE_LOCKING env var if this hangs. *********************************WARN_ONCE********************************* File r300_render.c function r300Fallback line 426 Software fallback:ctx->Line.StippleFlag *************************************************************************** *********************************WARN_ONCE********************************* File r300_vertexprog.c function t_dst_index line 184 Unknown output 13 *************************************************************************** *********************************WARN_ONCE********************************* File r300_render.c function r300Fallback line 393 Software fallback:ctx->RenderMode != GL_RENDER *************************************************************************** *********************************WARN_ONCE********************************* File r300_render.c function r300Fallback line 434 Software fallback:ctx->Color.ColorLogicOpEnabled *************************************************************************** Still some warning, and something things happening when the window is moved around.
