Quadrapassel window is empty when compiz is enabled

Maybe this is an issue of your graphic controller, what graphic card do you have in your machine (and what controller do you use)?

The graphic card is ATI Radeon HD 5750, and the controller used is fglrx.

I have the exact same problem on lucid RC, ATI Radeon HD 3650, fglrx.

This is an issue with AMD-ATI's proprietary drivers. Switching to the open source radeon drivers fixed it for me. Since the open drivers now support OpenGL and Compiz, I don't see a reason for sticking with ATI's shitty drivers.

The newest Radeon cards, as mine, don't work with OpenGL and Compiz without fglrx; but if yours does, obviously is better to use the free drivers.

come on, we need to use proprietary drivers, patch your game to be playable even with ati's drivers. i have ati hd4670

in case how we do to switch back to opensource drivers? I dunno how

answer please

This is not a forum but a bug tracker.

i have switched to opensource drivers and it is unplayable too slow and gives these errors:

IRQ's not enabled, falling back to busy waits: 2 0

(quadrapassel:1801): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x4400040 the current GLX drawable

(quadrapassel:1801): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x440005d the current GLX drawable

what i have to install?

in ubuntu lucid, compiz is disabled andi use metacity

Isn't this bug related to #529479? The messages are the same. The source of these bugs might be the same.

Perhaps it's; but I can't test it since no hardware acceleration is supported by free drivers with my graphic processor, so I can't enable Compiz in this case. The only I can said is no bug appear with free drivers with Compiz disabled.

fglrx needs POSIX shared memory to be enabled to work properly. Otherwise some "stuff" might happen. On my Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) it did not come enabled by default. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122712 quick hint. Do it, check it, and reboot your machine, just to be sure.
Test Quadrapassel and reply if it works.

btw, it worked to me.

I have no longer had this bug. It seems to be solved for me.

Following Dokuro's suggestion in #16 certainly helped. However, there are still a LOT of screen weirdness issues. For example, it will draw normally upon launch. However, moving the window to a new position will cause the window to go mostly blank again. Starting a game will redraw it, but while the game is running, accessing the menu items will do weird things, with some menu items spontaneously disappearing. I have not seen any other app act this badly. Very weird.

Shared memory was already enable so this can not be the cause
In 11.04 the window is no longer empty but just gives a white flash when a
new block is loaded.

You can actually play !
