RedHat 9, XFree86 4.3 Problems?

[rrwood]

I'm experiencing some graphical weirdness with RedHat 9/XFree86 4.3 and AC3D.

Anybody else notice this or have some suggestions?

Basically, there's a lot of goofiness in the graphics-- e.g. when I click and drag to create objects (sphere, box, etc.), nothing is shown, although the object is being created correctly. Similarly, if I try to resize objects, the display is garbled until I stop, at which point things are okay.

Oh-- and this is with AC3D 3.6, RedHat 9, XFree86 4.3.0 on an ATI 8500LE card.

No problems with the same machine running XFree86 4.2 (RedHat 8), though I have ATI's official drivers installed there, for what that's worth (can't get them to work with XFree86 4.3 though).

And even odder, running the static version of AC3D shows the same problems, so I'm not even sure it's a problem related to hardware rendering.


Weird, huh?

Hi Roy,

I think you may have dianosed the problem yourself.

It sounds like the graphics drivers are at fault.

Please let us know of any developments.

Got it-- everything is okay, it's just that the editing panes are showing up zoomed-in too far by default, and I had grid-snap turned on. This combination lead to the strangeness when I click/dragged in the XY/YZ/YZ views.
