Ubuntu Jaunty
Kernel: 2.6.30
Mesa: 7.4
Xorg: 7.4

Video hardware: ATI Radeon 9000 /w Opensource drivers

Good job mate!! you have officially close this nearly year old issue!!

I don't see any reason why not.

This solved my trouble, thanks very much Arafails!

Arafails -

with your permission I will include your lib as a alternate in the next debian package update (After current special event) until such time as NGD patches this bug.

Arafails · 10-30-2009, 04:11 AM

An alternate won't work very well, or at all, as the library doesn't work like that; It literally only overrides the symbol glFlush until such point as the real glFlush will actually work, that's why it's so small.

What you could do is include /etc/ld.so.preload in the package with the path to the binary included, or package a launcher that prepended the library to the LD_PRELOAD path, for example:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

LD_PRELOAD="${LIBDIR}/glwa.so ${LD_PRELOAD}"

exec ${BINDIR}/rolauncher.real

I would really recommend the launcher over anything else (writing /etc/ld.so.preload could well clobber important stuff).

The full workings of this is released without any licence agreement. You may do with it what you will, use it at your own risk.

. . .

Interestingly enough the new tech. version of Regnum on Amun has this problem fixed already, maybe we see update for live servers before too long

Yes, sorry for not being clear. The package uses a wrapper script to call rolauncher and has a config file for the wrapper at /etc/default/regnum-online. I was going to add an option to this config for the lib to be preloaded. Not a true alt.
