[Solved]Glest crashes when sending a unit (Linux amd65)

[vegi]

Hi!

I have the following problem on Ubuntu Hardy, amd64 (and the newest ATI driver 8.3 if that matters):
I can start Glest having no problem until I start a game. When I click on a unit and send it somewhere, Glest instantly crashes when the red arrow, which indicates, where the unit is going, appears. This happens with the version in Hardy and also with Glest 3.1.2 compiled from source. Here a gdb-output of the 3.1.2 crash, debugging enabled:

Mouse Button > 3 not handled? I am using my notebook's Synaptics touchpad...

Can I provide further information to track down the bug?

[vegi]

It seems to be a problem of the driver, as Glest does not crash with the open source driver. Unfortunately, this does not support 3d acceleration and is much too slow...

[hailstone]

The message "Mouse Button > 3 not handled." is located in shared_lib/sources/platform/sdl/window.cpp

Code: [Select]

MouseButton Window::getMouseButton(int sdlButton) {
switch(sdlButton) {
case SDL_BUTTON_LEFT:
return mbLeft;
case SDL_BUTTON_RIGHT:
return mbRight;
case SDL_BUTTON_MIDDLE:
return mbCenter;
default:
throw std::runtime_error("Mouse Button > 3 not handled.");
}
}

it means that one of the SDL buttons wasn't pressed so another case might need to be added to support the touchpad, although I don't think it does anything because I had this as well and I could still play.

[vegi]

Yeah, it is indeed an ATI bug. Using an old 7.x driver works.

[daniel.santos]

vegi, can you please marked this one as solved? Just edit the original post and add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning of the subject. thanks

[evon]

I have the same problem.  But where can I get my hands on an old ATI driver?  I would love to be able to play my 3d games again. I'm running an AMD64.

[vegi]

I am using Fedora 9 now and with the xorg-x11-drv-ati open source driver version 6.8 (still in testing repos) it works because this driver is much faster on my card (glxgears gives 1200 FPS instead of 170 FPS with 6.7).
