Graphic bugs in Rev 11457

[schmatzler]

Hey guys,

I just noted that Supertuxkart has some serious problems in rendering with an Intel I965 card with Mesa 8.0.3.

The errors where not present in Rev. 11428.

The problem: Some areas that should be transparent are shown in black instead. Screenshots attached. I know that these integrated devices are not very good, but it's annoying anyway.

If you have the newest STK from SVN, make sure you are also using a recent SVN version of Irrlicht.

Otherwise, I think it could be fairly safe to assume it's either Irrlicht's fault or your driver not playing nice with transparency and render-to-texture. Not to sound arrogant, but in nearly all cases of graphics bugs it's either the driver or something changed in Irrlicht.

Maybe one of our programmers might have more insight on the matter though.

I'm pretty sure it's not an Irrlicht problem, because I used the same version (rev 4256) on both tested STK revisions. As I said, STK Rev 11428 is working fine. Maybe some changes made afterwards broke it on my hardware.

Maybe this one is causing the problems:

knowing it's between 11428 and latest does not make it easy for us, unfortunately. To help this problem get fixed, could you try to pinpoint the exact revision where it starts happening? As you mentioned, testing 11446 and 11447 might be a good idea

It was a config error! Sometimes things are so simple...I don't know how, but somewhere between revisions, my $HOME/.config/supertuxkart had changed.

I deleted that directory and everything is working fine now. Thanks for your help.

ah maybe FBOs have been accidentally disabled for you, I know disabling FBOs tends to do that
