Description claire robinson 2012-04-20 17:25:20 CEST

I can't test this very well as my i586 laptop is too slow to run it properly but at startup it gives some errors.

$ fgfs
Mesa 7.10.2 implementation error: Bad renderbuffer format: 21

Please report at bugs.freedesktop.org

It later gives several pages of these before reaching the cockpit..

i915_program_error: Bad source->Index: 12
i915_program_error: Bad source->Index: 12

It is too slow to actually do anything when I get to the cockpit so I can't check much beyond this.

This bug was discovered in Mageia 1. It seems like it could be different from the bug Bit Twister has discovered in Cauldron.

Sorry, forgot to check bug Version.  I'll open one against Cauldron.

This is a bug in the hardware driver, not in flightgear.
It works perfectly here with Intel HD graphics, so I think only your Intel hardware trigger this bug.

As flightgear requires good gpu, I would close this bug as wontfix. Else feel free to assign it to mesa ...
