hi guys, i am trying to get VO running on my Acer EEE PC1000H (Ubuntu 9.04, not the NBR)

after several segmentation faults which i backtrack to my sucking internet connection, when the game finally starts it gives me the following for me cryptic console-output:

well... it seems i dont get to the error message right now... just the segfaults... see:

osc@Shai-Hulud:~$ vendetta
Segmentation fault
osc@Shai-Hulud:~$ vendetta
Segmentation fault
osc@Shai-Hulud:~$ vendetta
Segmentation fault
osc@Shai-Hulud:~$ vendetta
Segmentation fault
osc@Shai-Hulud:~$ vendetta
Segmentation fault
osc@Shai-Hulud:~$ vendetta
Segmentation fault
osc@Shai-Hulud:~$ vendetta
Segmentation fault

i post in this thread if i get to the actual error when the client starts iirc it looked like this:

get fences failed: -1 Value: 0

or something, ideas?

osc@Shai-Hulud:~$ vendetta
get fences failed: -1
param: 6, val: 0
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.

there i got it

above was the error message with pulse killed, below the one with pulse running:

osc@Shai-Hulud:~$ vendetta
get fences failed: -1
param: 6, val: 0

It started taking a couple of attempts here too. I sometimes got crashes when switching windows during load before, so I didn't think much of it.

I just managed to catch one those sefaults in gdb:

modenum and windowtitle look really wrong..

64bit Arch Linux
Radeon HD 3200 with fglrx 9.5

glx bug maybe? I might recommend posting this to Bugs, 'cause the devs will know what "get fences failed" means..

Also, is the 1000H the one with the crappy Intel 945 graphics chip that has notoriously buggy and crash-happy Linux 3D drivers?

VO works fine on my eee s101 (same crapy intel 945 chipset I believe)... running arch linux (did have an issue for a while that caused segfault on load, was related to opengl driver, fixed by an update to opengl that appeared about a week later)...

soo, I would guess this is likely an issue with ubuntu on that hardware, and not the actual hardware... maybe try doing an apt-get update opengl (or whatever it is in ubuntu)?
