(Get the code!)
I just recently jumped into this thread, but I had been having similar issues with Blender that you all have mentioned. I can confirm that I got Blender to perform properly in Jaunty. The short story is, I simply updated my display drivers.
If you like long stories, continue reading :-D
I took the following steps:
1 - Followed the instructions in post #12 from Bryce Harrington. (Note: This didn't seem to solve the problem, and I'm not sure if the drivers in the PPA contributed to my eventual success, because I think I ended up further updating those drivers in step 2. But I've included the step for the sake of tracking what I did.)
2 - Updated to the latest driver of https:/
3 - Edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf to enable UXA
Some notes:
- Blender now runs correctly, even with my Visual Effects settings at the max (before, when using the software renderer for Blender, I had to turn off Visual Effects).
- When I run glxinfo, I get the following error: "get fences failed: -1". Even after searching around the forums and interwebz, I'm not exactly sure what that means, but my graphics accelerations seems to be working. And, from what I understand, that fences error is harmless. If anyone knows the real deal, please point me in the right direction. I'm curious.
- One other very minor issue is that now, when I mouse over items in a drop-down menu (not within Blender), it appears as though only the top half of the word is highlighted. I've included a screenshot. It's liveable, but I thought I should point it out.
