[Paraview] Display crash running paraview with low-end graphics card

Hi,

You can also try to disable depth peeling in Edit->Settings->Render View

Best,
Stephane

Re: [Paraview] Display crash running paraview with low-end graphics card

Agreed, immediate mode rendering did not help. I also tried recompiling 
with VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA  = ON but this did not work either. Do you have 
to set something inside Paraview to ensure software rendering?

For reference my graphics processors is:
% lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core 
Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

cheers

I also got the problem, running Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit with proposed kernel 
(2.6.38-9.43, currently) and ParaView 3.10.1. I have an Intel Mobile 
GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller, what I would consider a 
low-end graphics card. 

Creating a slice from a rectangular mesh works, but displacing it with the 
mouse makes the screen lock up, and eventually go black. It seems to keep 
responding on key presses. In kern.log I found traces of compiz 
segfaulting on the video driver, among a bunch of other errors regarding 
dri:

at 0 ip 00007f2d7a480afe sp 00007fff8aa48b00 error 4 in 
i965_dri.so[7f2d7a412000+ac000]

Stopping compiz makes it possible to move the slice by mouse without 
locking things up. Something strange happens, still, as the background 
turns black at the moment it would turn semi-transparent on my nvidia 
machine.

Using immediate mode rendering doesn't help, unfortunately.

Cheers,
Ivo

The options I would try are using mesa or go to Edit->Settings->Render 
View and check Use Immediate Mode Rendering to on.  Both of these are 
normally slower but if it's a memory allocation problem these may get you 
past that.

Hi All,

When  using the slice of clip tool on a 3D view  if I try to adjust the 
plane my display crashes. I suspect this has something to do with the 
relatively low-end graphics card on my system and there is some toggle or 
switch I'm missing, but can't for the life of me work out what it is. Any 
help would be gratefully appreciated.

For reference I'm running 3.11.1 on Ubuntu-64 bit laptop 
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core 
Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

cheers
