Black Screen Using 2.3

[Nameless]

Hi All.

Personally, I've had no problems running WZ under Pclos 2009, but a fellow board-member (of Pclos) is having trouble playing WZ. His specs (?) are and his specific problem is the following;

2.6.33.3-pclos1.pa
Konqueror: 4.4.3
Intel 4500MHD

KDE Development Platform: 4.4.3
2.6.33.4-pclos1.pae

x11-driver-video-intel-2.9.1-1pclos2010
warzone2100-2.3.0-2pclos2010
mesa-7.5.2-1pclos2010

dmesg | grep drm
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[drm] set up 63M of stolen space
fb: conflicting fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver
fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device
[drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0

It's an OpenGL issue. Intel chipsets & drivers tend to fare poorly here. Not sure how well the frame buffer driver does OpenGL, but I am suspicious.

Things to try:

Turn off compositing window managers & desktop effects (compiz, kde4 effects, etc)

Update video driver. Manufacturer's drivers usually do OpenGL better than open source. (yeah, I know - sacrilege!)

Turn down hardware acceleration.

It's a 4500MHD. When we say "Intel fares poorly", we're talking about three generations ago, not latest and greatest...

Updating manufacturer's drivers should be enough.

For Intel on Linux, the open source drivers are the manufacturer's drivers.
