Re: Why DRI/Mesa turns off hardware acceleration instead disabling features?

That complaint is only partially correct. They test on nvidia only, and tell 
anyone who uses anything DRI based (which includes ati binary drivers) to 
screw off, even though nvidia is at fault for not doing the correct thing in 
the first place.

What nvidia does on Linux may fly on Windows, but it doesn't fly here: if you 
make a 3D driver, you use Mesa as your OpenGL lib, and you use DRI as your 
HAL.

If you don't like Mesa or DRI because it is "buggy" or "slow" or "backwards", 
then either fix the so called bugs, or quit bitching.

DRM is for time being only for linux & freebsd. I don't know any work on
os x and don't think there will be any.

If you suspect a memory error, valgrind is an excellent tool to use.
Run with 'valgrind --tool=memcheck ppracer'

Ok,

I've managed to fix the segfault when running under ElectricFence,
ppracer has a file called:
/usr/share/ppracer/courses/themes/models/common/tree.png
which measures 256x255 this should be 256x256. I find it strange though that the
GLU functions involved start writing out of bounds instead of just complaining
and returning an error. I believe this is a bug, let me know if you agree, then
I'll post a seperate bug for this. Unfortunatly with this bug fixed I still have
colored trails.

Using Electricfence isn't helping me any fruther because now it gets sofar into
the game that EF aborts because it runs out of memory. I'll try valgrind when
I've got some more time.
