Hi All,
I'm experiencing odd behaviour with various OpenGL apps I'm (trying to) use. I have an IBM Thinkpad X60s with the Intel GMA chipset, the 945GM to be precise. I have glxinfo/glxgears working normally, disabled composite in xorg.conf and everything seems fine.
However, there are a few applications that I use that show rather strange behaviour that I think is related to the same underlying (as yet unidentified) problem. Here is my list:
- Google Earth 4.3
Installed in /opt/googleearth. Starts, but with extremely slow performance. Unusable, Closing the window takes about 10 seconds.
- OpenOffice 2.4.0
Installed in /opt/openoffice. Failed to start when using the "intel" or "i810" Xorg driver. "vesa" driver works fine. Later learned that setting GTK_MODULES="" works around the problem while using the "intel" or "i810" drivers and that it might have to do with the gnome integration stuff in OpenOffice.
CentOS 5.2 has Gnome 2.16.0 from 2/18/2007. In recent conversations with a tech for an application I use, I believe 2.18 is the current RH version. Maybe when this makes it to CentOS (if I'm correct and it will be an update soon), maybe this will fix your issue.
