It seems that double buffering doesn't work with ATI cards. For now we'll have to disable that then.

This is how the output looks like. I notice that the lowest box in the Ogre display settings picker is empty before starting ember, not sure if that's related.

Hmm, it's obviously left some of the output of glxgears. I think it might perhaps be related to the double buffering we do nowadays. I'll add an option to Ember for disabling it and alert you so you can try again.

I've committed an update to Ember which will allow you to disable the double buffering. Just alter/create your ~/.ember/ember.conf file so that it has the following:
[ogre]
doublebuffered = false

and see if there's any difference.

Yeah, that makes ember work up to the next bug, reporting that separately.

We don't support double buffering anymore, so I've marked it as invalid.
