[cube]Night vision under linux behavis

Post by herumon »

Hi,

Under Linux Mint(basically Ubuntu) night vision behaves really strangely, images below. I use 64bit version and tried the low graphics settings, it didn't help.

Some information about the hardware

Code: Select all

$ fglrxinfo 
display: :0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 6900M Series
OpenGL version string: 4.2.12337 Compatibility Profile Context FireGL 9.00.11

I can't reproduce this. It's probably some one off problem between drivers / graphics card / allegro.
I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Thanks for looking into this, when I'll play it on that machine(not in the near future, it's not my main machine), I'll update drivers etc. and try again, maybe something will appear.

I've never used night vision so I don't know if this is a general linux problem.

I just wanted to recommend to herumon that he could try using the open source AMD driver if the issue persists with latest catalyst. I'm not sure how Mint handles this, in Ubuntu I can select which driver to use in a special tool.

Both drivers (fglrx + free mesa driver) are know to have issues, but maybe only fglrx fails with night vision while open source crashes with factorio versions older than 0.10.4, but that is fixed now. Generally, fglrx seems to have more features but also more bugs/crashes, while mesa lags behind feature-wise but appears to be pretty stable and since it now does the power management / fan control correctly, it might be a good choice when fglrx fails.

I know this is an old post but I just want to confirm that this bug is still present.
I'm on Manjaro, with the latest Catalyst driver, and the behavior is exactly the same (lights are seen black).

Code: Select all

$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series   
OpenGL version string: 4.5.13397 Compatibility Profile Context 13.251
Changing to free drivers is not an option for me, though. They just don't work with my graphics card.

When was the last time you tried and what was the problem? That card should have been supported just fine for quite a while now.
