Description of problem: When I run flightgear the colours are very strange and everything is flickering. See screenshot I think it could be related to mesa 9.1.2. There were no problems before that. My graphics card is an AMD HD7700 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.10.0 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: Launch flightgear Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Yes, as far as I know, Mesa driver for HD7700 is not complete. You say you had no problems with which Mesa version? I think you should try to disable the shaders in Flightgear or use the proprietary driver.

Once I disable Generic in Shader Options the strange colors and flickering disappears. None of the other options have any effect. I last saw Flightgear work with full shader was with Mesa 9.1.1. Once mesa got updated for mga3-RC the strange coloring appeared. I suspected it had to do with mt 7700HD-card. How do I switch to proprietary driver? Do I need to relink?

Looks like a regression came so. But are you sure you were using Mesa and not FGLRX? > > I suspected it had to do with mt 7700HD-card. How do I switch to proprietary > driver? Do I need to relink? No, it is much easier than that : in MCC click on the video card like show in the link below, it will ask you if you want the proprietary driver. Of course, non_free media must be enabled. http://doc.mageia.org/installer/2/en/content/setupX.html
Well. this is kind of embarrassing. I always thought that mesa was a layer over fglrx. But anyway, yes I use fglrx. I just checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf. It says: Driver "fglrx" One question, though. According to rpmdrake the only package that provides /usr/lib64/libGL.so is lib64mesagl1. And /usr/lib64/libGL.so sym-links to /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1, which links to /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.2.0 The x11-driver-video-fglrx package only provides â/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1 and /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2. Is there a possibility to re-symlink /usr/lib64/libGL.so to /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1 other than by manual ln -s ? How can I be sure that I reached all other necessary libs?
We symlink the good libGL.so when driver is changed. You can get be sure reading the output command glxinfo from mesa-demos package.
Please re-open if you can give more info...
