graphics problem

[Beets]

When I start nexuiz everything looks fine for about 5 seconds then the graphics completely mess up. They is no text and messed up colors. Can someone help me?

I am using Ubuntu 8.10

Can you please give us some more info about your system? What graphics card and what drivers you have are particularly useful.

Please can you also try running Nexuiz from a terminal and copy the text that is returned to the terminal so that we can see any errors that are returned.

it is an Intel 915G/915GV/910GL chip set i think.

This is what is shows from a terminal:

I'm not a Intel expert. But I think you need newer or different drivers for your Intel graphics chip. Maybe someone here knows how to install it.

Intel cards are not really known for their 3d power.. i guess thats the reason why so few people use it and hardly anyone has a idea on how to help you
First off all i'd check if the 3d acceleration works..

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep --color -i 'string\|direct'

should tell direct rendering: yes..
Otherwise i have no idea right now.. maybe check the ubuntu forums to find out if the intel drivers you have are the latest?

I use intel on my netbook. Try upgrading to mesa 7.3. Mesa 7.5 works even better but I doubt Ubuntu has made a package for it.

I also experience the same problem.......



I use an Intel® Desktop Board DG31PR

and an Intel 3100 graphic card........

and Ubuntu 8.10

I tried typing the code
"glxinfo | grep --color -i 'string\|direct'"

and it says

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
client glx vendor string: SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) G33 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 7.2

What should I do next???????????????????
