Debian+intel graphics : Abaqus display bug

[mumu]

Hello guys !

I would first like to thank you all for the valuable information found here regarding the installation of Abaqus on a 64-bit Linux box.

So I managed to run Abaqus 6.9 on amd64 Debian Squeeze, but there is this weird display bug, which I haven't managed to solve yet (see attached screenshots) : textures are not rendered properly (screenshot 1), and things get even worse when trying to visualize meshes (screenshot 2).

I tried to tamper with the xorg.conf file (by manually setting Videoram and AccelMethod), disable desktop effects (I run KDE 4) : no go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated ;)

What happens if you try to run CAE using:

abaqus cae -mesa

-Jorgen

Hi Jorgen !

I thought I had already tried this, but actually I hadn't :)

That solved the problem, even though when translating/rotating parts, they turn to wireframe, but this is no big deal.

Thanks again !

PS : the -mesa suffix switches to software acceleration, right ?
