I also installed mesa drivers (same version as above) from x-swat at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates. My hardware is Thinkpad T41 with ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9) Lf (AGP) chipset 32MB.
With new drivers, Blender v2.49b works, but version 2.5-alpha0 still segfaults after producing following error: [driAllocateTexture:635] unable to allocate texture This is odd, since the graphics card seems to be the same as above. Also tried to take a backtrace with gdb, but this time it freezed my computer entirely.. :( -- blender-bin crashed with SIGSEGV in GPU_state_init() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446632 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
