Just John Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Title pretty much sums it up. Compiz works fine, 2D games work fine, 3D games have what looks like severe clipping and redraw problems. A couple black screen crashes as well (in games), and occasional crashes as the background is dimming on the restart screen (don't know if that one is related). I have 2008.1 installed with all the updates run (except 2009 obviously - don't have the bandwidth). Any ideas? What should I try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Providing the graphics card brand and model would probably help. I know I have serious problems with ATI. Yves.

Just John Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) It's in the subtitle of the thread ;) Aye, I'll be sure to include precautionary redundancies next time. ;) Just John - do you know if you are using the proprietary drivers or the drivers included with xorg? Proprietary. (Mandriva 2008.1 installs them by default, and I've run the updates so I assume they should be latest version and such as well.) *update* Looks like I've got the following driver packages: x11-driver-video-fglrx 8.471 fglrx-kernel-desktop586-latest 8.471 fglrx-kernel-2.6.24.7-desktop586-2mnb 8.471 fglrx-kernel-2.6.24.4-desktop586-1mnb 8.471 As a side note I'm not sure what the default kernel for 2008.1 was but 2.6.24.4 and 2.6.24.7 became boot options after I updated, and I'm about to switch to desktop-latest to enable my RAM.
