Eagle graphical glitch with fglrx drivers on Linux

Former Member

Hello i am having an issue with eagle on Ubuntu 12.10 using a AMD HD 7770 graphics card using the fglrx drivers, currently im using the latest drivers (13.3) from their website but i have also tried older versions which come with ubuntu no difference.

 

I have also tried multiple versions of eagle, all have the same problem.

 

anything within the work area on either schematic or boardlayout will glitch up, i found another post in german with the same problem so its not just me having the issue. http://www.element14.com/community/message/73170

 

previously i had been using a nvidia card which worked fine on this system.

    Several of us have noticed similar problems, though I don't know that

    we've isolated it to the AMD/ATI vs nVidia or Intel. I have an AMD

    Radeon HD 5670 graphics card. I normally run with compositing turned

    off, but if I turn it on I see similar problems.

     

    Try turning off compositing and see if the problem goes away. You could

    also try the proprietary AMD driver. Let us know what you see!

    i did try playing with the compositing, made no difference. fglrx is the proprietary amd driver.

    Same issue here, I'm on Arch Linux 64 bit, (latest, updated yesterday),

    problem occurs only on my laptop (Radeon Mobility 5650 on proprietary fglrx driver - catalyst 13.3),

    it happened before with catalyst 13.1 and 13.2 through several Xorg versions.

    (I'm not sure if eagle worked correctly at all on this machine)

     

    Eagle works fine on desktop (Nvidia GeForce 9800, same OS, proprietary graphics driver)

     

    I have no compositing on both my computers (plain Xorg + tiling window manager - dwm)

     

    Edit:

    Just tested latest AMD driver release: 13.6 - no difference, eagle is still unusable.

    Hey, will You (devs) fix this?

     

    I still cannot use Eagle on my laptop (That's unacceptable for paid software),

    All other accellerated apps (blender, games under wine, wings3D), and Qt apps (librecad, Opengl examples from Qt package)

    work fine with fglrx.
