via/unichrome/openchrome users: do you see any stuff like this?

Playing BZ flag, using KM400 with xf86-video-via driver:

Both other drivers do this as well. If you're using any sort of Unichrome hardware (what the heck, even completely different hardware, as long as you're using open source drivers), and you're seeing stuff like the above when using OpenGL programs and the current drivers, I'd really like to hear about it.

VM800/Openchrome here; I see a bit different, but also awful results:
.

Openchrome wiki blames DRI/Mesa and suggests using Mesa 6.4; I have not tried it yet.

Eh, go figure. I'll put in a request for the old version of Mesa, I guess.

Edit: Actually, we ought to look for patches before we do that. Could you see if you can find anything? I'll look around...

Well, your question made me browsing freedesktop.org bugzilla; my problem (and maybe one of yours? blank space at left and upper edge and mess on right and lower one may be caused by image shifted out of window in SE direction) seems to be bug 9965 -- fixed and closed in March. Let's rejoice Try to move bzflag window and see, if the problem increases when moving away from upper left corner of the screen.

Mesa 6.5.3 was released on April 27th, so it should contain this fix. Package in repository has been flagged out-of-date already, I hope we'll see working one soon.

Broken textures seem to be result of bug 9681 (in fact, bzflag screenshots are used as examples), but, sadly, this bug remains NEW since January.

Yup, the image shifting did indeed work that way; glad that's fixed upstream. I'll see if it has any impact on the texture problems after the update, or if I can do anything about it by messing around with my settings...
