Graphical anomalies in Urban Terror on Hardy

[akincer]

In Urban Terror 4.1 with Intel Q965 graphics, there are visual anomalies that cause some walls in the game to become transparent and other glitches. I can post screenshots if needed.

I've posted a message in the Urban Terror forums with more information:

Gutsy does not suffer this problem.

You mentioned that adding glx, dri to the conf doubled the performance? That sounds strange, since the server autoloads them, and changes the DRI mode.

Please attach your Xorg.0.log when having those options and not.

I double checked. Having the settings disabled, FPS hovered around 35 on one map. I enabled them and FPS was bounding between 50 and 65.

I've attached the Xorg log with the settings enabled.

Here's without settings enabled.

Here's a screenshot showing the transparency. The line beginning at the feet of the blue guy on the right is the outline of a wall. It meets the wall on my right where the shadow meeds the line in the bottom and slightly left of the shot.

I fixed this on my machine by compiling the driver against Mesa 7.0.2.
I use Arch Linux, so I can't provide specifics (it was originally compiled against 7.0.3-rc2).
