Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 249517
google earth zoom broken
Last modified: 2008-04-04 09:46:14 EDT
Description of problem: I see "fog" when trying to zoom in on google earth. dmesg shows [drm:i915_vblank_swap] *ERROR* Invalid pipe 0 Googling reveals this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/90622 and blames mesa. There is a fix too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mesa-6.5.2 How reproducible: run google earth with a "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller" and try zooming in on something. Additional info: The url I posted claims that the problem is fixed in later versions of mesa. Why is rawhide still on 6.5.2 when 6.5.3 and 7.0 are out? Please can someone crank out a later version. Thank you!
Launchpad bug points to upstream commit http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=mesa/mesa.git;a=commitdiff;h=2dfb3a217f730d6783fb2ac8b73248dc682f923c;hp=af1d1e08e40c8c70dfa81e39724be11da94f938d and the upstream bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9686
Created attachment 190051 [details] upstream patch
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
I don't see this anymore with kernel 2.6.25-0.185.rc7.git6.fc9.i686 and mesa-libGL-7.1-0.21.fc9.i386 but I am also running a newer version of google earth. Unfortunately the app is so uselessly slow at the moment that it's unusable but the atmosphere bug appears to be gone so I will close this bug, marking rawhide as the resolution. I am not sure if it works in F8 btw.
