Comment 31 for bug 421016

OK, thanks. I am updating the list of workarounds

Here is a sum of the various workarounds with graphic problems:

1) Update your graphic drivers

2)
From Scilab, try
usecanvas(%t)

3)
From Scilab, try
system_setproperty("jogl.gljpanel.nohw","");

4)
Try to start Scilab in "256-colour mode"

5) If you run ubuntu 11.10, install the libgl1-mesa-swx11 packaged instead of libgl1-mesa-glx

6) Wait for Scilab 5.4.0
