Taura M.</a> wrote in with news about a segfault bug in all current versions of the<a href="http://www.mesa3d.org">Mesa</a> library: <blockquote>"Many Linux games that use hardware acceleration/3D graphics/etc use the library Mesa3D. There's been a very elusive bug that would cause an internal segmentation fault when destroying a texture in context which has been fixed since version Mesa3D 3.5. <p> I know this is very early news since Mesa3D 3.5 does not exist yet, but I spoke to Brian to comfirm the problem (infact we worked togeather to find it the first place). I've been getting many reports of this bug from end users and if you find this of importance you might want to make a posting about this and to upgrade as soon as its available, atleast players will *know* what the cause is." </blockquote> So there. Thanks, Taura. | OpenGL games segfaulting? Maybe this is the cause.. | default | |
