Topic: 0.4.3 - graphics, problems with backgrounds

Hi,

as of 0.4.3 (on Ubuntu Hardy) I have a problem. The backgrounds are smeared (swirly, as if pieces are being copied ad infinitum). It is playable, but very tiring. I am using the opensource "radeon" driver with [ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 01)]. The fglrx driver does not support this chip anymore, so I'm stuck with the radeon driver. Thanks for any ideas.

I might add that "gfx_clear 1" is the worth solution and shouldn't be used. The only right thing is to tell the admin to make better maps, and then leave the server and join another one, this problem is entirely because of bad mappers.

On my second workstation I've got this problem, too (with default-maps). Maybe the radeon driver is the right to blame.

Yes, it was default maps. I too think that radeon driver might be the culprit. But 0.4.2 didn't have that problem, and it was the same driver.

Hm, I didn't test 0.4.3 on my second workstation yet, but my former test was with 0.4.2.
