[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: blender
Version: 2.36-1
Severity: grave

Bugs 239184 and 291888 seem to refer to an abhorrent behaviour which I
also witness - namely that none of the widgets render correctly or at
all.  I'm setting the severity high as it does render the thing
unusable.

I am running an X.org server w/DRI enabled, and the workaround in
bug 239184 does resolve the problem for me.  ie, launching like so:

$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 blender

gives me a useable interface again.  This should perhaps be mentioned in
a README.Debian or somesuch.  I have a Matrox G450 and am using XFCE 4.2
(sometimes WM/DE's matter ;).  I'm using the upstream X.org and
dri.sf.net drivers from a package supplied here:

deb http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./
deb-src http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./

Cheers,

Got an up-to-date sid with X.org 6.9, just installed the libgl1-mesa-dri
package from experimental to get DRI support for my ATI (FireGL Mobility
T2e) card. Acceleration works fine (glxgears, xmoto, ...) but Blender is
blinking (on each redraw, AFAICT).

(Blender 2.41-1)

That works perfectly for me. Many thanks.

This sounds reasonable to me, and that's the fact (README.Debian). So if
this bug is about mentioning it, I think it should be closed. If not,
I'm wondering whether upstream should be contacted to gather more info
on what cards/X drivers/... are implied in such matters.

Got Xfce 4.2 too, but quite sure it's not related. :-)

I got XFCE aswell, i think it is related. And i do not encounter these 
problems when i have it windowed. And it only triggers when i try to render.

BTW, was your bugreport about mentioning the solution (for DRI
deactivation) in README.Debian or exactly the same behaviour with some
(aw|beauti)ful colors like in #239184 (see [1])? I'd like to help
finding out whether it's Blender, or X module, or Xfce related.

 1. http://glenux2.free.fr/pub/debian-bug/blender-bug.png

The bug I encountered wasn't the same, just blinking, but I think we
should work on your bug, at least to ensure it's blender-related, so
that it get reassigned to the correct package.

Could you please provide us with:
 - your distribution (I guess sid, but maybe etch?)
 - Blender version

BTW, did you get this kind of bug with other programs?

Maybe you could provide a screenshot too, if it's not like the above
mentioned one?

Cheers,
