Flightgear graphics scrambled on D965WH

[bingo]

In ubuntu desktop i386 8.04 beta the graphics with flightgear flight simulator and an Intel i965 based motherboard is scrambled. The simulator starts and shows reasonable graphics, but when moving, large triangles get created in the display window.

The flightgear package is version 1.0.0-1 (fgfs-base, flightgear, simgear0, simgear-dev).

P.S.: some of the lighting features have improved compared to ubuntu 7.10 on the same machine.

You reported this against 8.04 beta. Is it still a problem with the current version of 8.04, or with 8.10 beta?
Are you using Compiz at the time of the error?

Well, the graphics are no longer scrambled in 8.04 or 8.10. However, the flight simulator does not work well with the DG965WH motherboard for reasons associated with the X-server and the intel driver. Please see bug #252094. Simply speaking, the frame rate drops to something around 1-2 fps effectively turning the simulator useless.

Per the above comment, I'm marking this "fix released". The remaining issue is being addressed in that other bug.
