Unfortunately the temporary part has been already quite some time :/ Blender 2.49 still had front-buffer drawing code that poses problems for some cards and drivers.
I don't think that this will be fixed in 2.49 (or any theoretical 2.4x series bugfix release), but you should try a Blender 2.5 build. Blender 2.5 has a different drawing approach in that everything is now drawn in backbuffer. Please try a build for Linux from graphicall.org (or create your own build if there is no prebuilt package available). If it doesn't readily work, try changing the drawing method in Blender user preferences > System ** Tags added: opengl ** Changed in: blender Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: blender Assignee: (unassigned) => jesterKing (jesterking) -- Blender menus render extremley slow with ati r300 card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579937 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
