Summary: Second Life crashes on starting ( Linux 32-bit ) Product: Mesa Version: unspecified Platform: x86 (IA32) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Drivers/DRI/r300 AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: andabata12@yahoo.it
The crash came with this declaration
ir_dereference_variable @ 0x138248b0 specifies undeclared variable `gl_LightModel' @ 0x133d8148
I had this problem from Mesa Git request of talloc to compile and from commit of " glsl: add missing ambient field to gl_LightModel" by Luca Barbieri. In practice from ca 20-25 August 2010 i have to compile from mesa git and subsequently to substitute r300g_dri.so with a 8/16/2010 radeong_dri.so luckily saved from an old compilation;
thus i have finally the whole bunch of graphic settings on SL with a Ati X1700 (rv530).
In this last period i have not crashes for gl_light ( i noticed the correction in commit mesa: Clean up header file inclusion in light.h.) but if i try to use the compiled r300_dri.so i get crash with:
2010-12-08T19:39:56Z INFO: loadShaderFile: Loading file: shaders/class2/environment/terrainF.glsl (Want class 2)
do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: ir.h:851: ir_call::ir_call(ir_function_signature*, exec_list*): Assertion `callee->return_type != __null' failed. inworld.
The same happens with stock Mesa for Fedora 13 and 14 and with different releases of SL viewer.
If i don't set "basic shaders" in Second Life viewer configuration, i can log inworld.
So I came back to kernel 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686 and with last X server and ati driver, last libdrm from kojii and transplanted old radeong_dri.so in /usr/local/lib/dri i have a relatively good experience on Sl, but the same it is a pity because i feel that Mesa-Gallium could compete with proprietary drivers on Second Life.
